    Look you�察�not swiftly puts a fleet to sea��
    Nor swiftly to its moorings�察�long it is
    Or e'er the saving cables to the shore
    Are borne�察�and long or e'er the steersmen cry��
    The good ship swings at anchor´all is well。
    Longest of all�察�the task to come aland
    Where haven there is none�察�when sunset fades
    In night。 To pilot wise�察�the adage saith��
    Night is a day of wakefulness and pain。
    Therefore no force of weaponed men�察�as yet��
    Scatheless can come ashore�察�before the bark
    Lie at her anchorage securely moored。
    Bethink thee therefore�察�nor in panic leave
    The shrine of gods whose succour thou hast won。
    I go for aid´men shall not blame me long��
    Old�察�but with youth at heart and on my tongue。

  CHORUS
                                                            strophe 1

        O land of hill and dale�察�O holy land��
        What shall befall us�拭�whither shall we flee��
        From Apian land to some dark lair of earth��

    O would that in vapour of smoke I might rise to the clouds of the
      sky��
    That as dust which flits up without wings I might pass and evanish
      and die��

                                                        antistrophe 1

    I dare not�察�I dare not abide�此�my heart yearns�察�eager to fly��
    And dark is the cast of my thought�察�I shudder and tremble for
      fear。
    My father looked forth and beheld�此�I die of the sight that draws
      near。
    And for me be the strangling cord�察�the halter made ready by Fate��
    Before to my body draws nigh the man of my horror and hate。
    Nay�察�ere I will own him as lord�察�as handmaid to Hades I go��

                                                            strophe 2

    And oh�察�that aloft in the sky�察�where the dark clouds are frozen
      to snow��
    A refuge for me might be found�察�or a mountain´top smooth and too
      high
    For the foot of the goat�察�where the vulture sits lonely�察�and none
      may descry
    The pinnacle veiled in the cloud�察�the highest and sheerest of
      all��
    Ere to wedlock that rendeth my heart�察�and love that is loveless��
      I fall��

                                                        antistrophe 2

    Yea�察�a prey to the dogs and the birds of the mount will I give me
      to be�察�
    From wailing and curse and pollution it is death�察�only death�察�sets
      me free��
    Let death come upon me before to the ravisher's bed I am thrust��
    What champion�察�what saviour but death can I find�察�or what refuge
      from lust��

                                                            strophe 3

    I will utter my shriek of entreaty�察�a prayer that shrills up to
      the sky��
    That calleth the gods to compassion�察�a tuneful�察�a pitiful cry��
    That is loud to invoke the releaser。 O father�察�look down on the
      fight��
    Look down in thy wrath on the wronger�察�with eyes that are eager
      for right。
    Zeus�察�thou that art lord of the world�察�whose kingdom is strong
      over all��
    Have mercy on us� �At thine altar for refuge and safety we call。

                                                        antistrophe 3

    For the race of Aegyptus is fierce�察�with greed and with malice
      afire��
    They cry as the questing hounds�察�they sweep with the speed of
      desire。
    But thine is the balance of fate�察�thou rulest the wavering scale��
    And without thee no mortal emprise shall have strength to achieve
      or prevail。
    ��The CHORUS rushes to the altar during the final part of the
      song。��

        Alack�察�alack� �the ravisher´
    He leaps from boat to beach�察�he draweth near��
        Away�察�thou plunderer accurst��
            Death seize thee first��
    Or e'er thou touch me´off� �God�察�hear our cry��
            Our maiden agony��
    Ah�察�ah�察�the touch�察�the prelude of my shame。
            Alas�察�my maiden fame��
        O sister�察�sister�察�sister�察�to the altar cling��
            For he that seizeth me��
    Grim is his wrath and stern�察�by land as on the sea。
            Guard us�察�O king��

    ��The HERALD OF AEGYPTUS enters with attendants。 The lines in
        the following scene between the HERALD and the CHORUS are
        sung and are accompanied by a frenzied symbolic dance。��
