Und wann des Sturmes wilder Hauch die Schiffer faßt,
Da theilt sich ihr Sinn, wie das Steuer zu wenden sei;
Es schafft der Weisen Menge Nichts, mehr richtet aus 1
Ein selbstherrschender schwacherer Geist,
Der ungetheilt in den Häusern und im Staat gebeut,
475
Wenn das Heil soll gefunden werden.
Zweite Gegenstrophe.

Notes on the current edition

Andromache

1. Such is Paley’s interpretation of this very difficult piece of Greek. He reads διδύμα γνώμα (nom.) with a colon after the latter word; and ὃ δυωασις, the correction of Hermann for ἁ.
