Chorus

Though loud thy boasts, there be others care no more for thee for that,

O stranger¹ from the land of Argos; nor wilt thou scare my soul with swelling words. Not yet be this the fate of mighty Athens, beauteous town!

Prahltest du stolz, achten dich doch

Andere drum nicht höher,

Der reizenden Flur Athena's!

Du rasest und Sthenelos'²

Sohn, der waltet in Argos!

Gegenstrophe.
