Χορός

σὺ δ’ ἐκ μὲν οἴκων πατρίων ἔπλευσας

μαινομένᾳ κραδίᾳ, διδύμους ὁρίσασα πόντου

πέτρας· ἐπὶ δὲ ξένᾳ

ναίεις χθονί, τᾶς ἀνάνδρου
435

κοίτας ὀλέσασα λέκτρον,

τάλαινα, φυγὰς δὲ χώρας

ἄτιμος ἐλαύνῃ.

Du kamst, hinwegschiffend vom Vaterhause,

Rasend in Liebe das Herz, und die doppelten Meeresklippen¹

Durchmessend, und wohnest nun

In Fremdlingesland, des dden

Unselige, wirst getrieben

In schnode Verbannung.
