Χορός

—πῶς ἂν ἐς ὄψιν τὰν ἁμετέραν

ἔλθοι μύθων τ’ αὐδαθέντων

δέξαιτ’ ὀμφάν;
175

—εἴ πως βαρύθυμον ὀργὰν

καὶ λῆμα φρενῶν μεθείη,

μήτοι τό γ’ ἐμὸν πρόθυμον

φίλοισιν ἀπέστω.

—ἀλλὰ βᾶσά νιν
180

δεῦρο πόρευσον οἴκων

ἔξω· φίλα καὶ τάδ’ αὔδα.

— σπεῦσον πρίν τι κακῶσαι τοὺς εἴσω·

πένθος γὰρ μεγάλως τόδ’ ὁρμᾶται.

Chorus

Would that she would come forth for us to see, and

listen to the words of counsel we might give, if haply she might lay aside the fierce fury of her wrath, and her temper stern. Never be my zeal at any rate denied my friends!
175

But go thou and bring her hither outside the house, and tell her this our friendly thought; haste thee ere she do some mischief to those inside the house, for this sorrow of hers is mounting high.

kame sie, uns in das Auge zu sehn,
175

daß sie vernåhm' aus unserem Mund

Ein erheiterndes Wort!

Es dämpfte den schweren Unmuth¹

Vielleicht und die stolze Seele.

Stets will ich den Freunden eifrig
180

Zu dienen bereit sein.

Gehe denn, und her

Führe sie aus dem Hause,

Mit freundlichem Wort zur Eile²

Mahnend, ehe sie drinnen
185

Frevelt; denn mit Macht

Hat sie ergriffen dieser Gram.
