ὠή,
τὸν Λατοῦς αὐδῶ σʼ,
ὅστʼ ὀμφὰν κληροῖς
πρὸς χρυσέους θάκους
καὶ γαίας μεσσήρεις ἕδρας,
910
εἰς οὖς αὐδὰν καρύξω·
Ἰὼ κακὸς εὐνάτωρ,
ὃς τῷ μὲν ἐμῷ νυμφεύτᾳ
χάριν οὐ προλαβὼν
παῖδʼ εἰς οἴκους οἰκίζεις·
915
ὁ δʼ ἐμὸς γενέτας καὶ σός γʼ, ἀμαθής,
οἰωνοῖς ἔρρει συλαθείς,
σπάργανα ματέρος ἐξαλλάξας.
μισεῖ σʼ ἁ Δᾶλος καὶ δάφνας
ἔρνεα φοίνικα παρʼ ἁβροκόμαν,
920
ἔνθα λοχεύματα σέμνʼ ἐλοχεύσατο
Λατὼ Δίοισί σε καρποῖς.

Ion Perseus (Euripides. The Plays of Euripides, Vol. I. Coleridge, Edward P., translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1906.) — 907 focus
Hark! thou son of Latona, to thee I call, for that thou dispensest warnings; there at thy golden throne
on earth’s centre planted will I proclaim a word into thy ear. O! thou wicked bridegroom who art bringing to my husband’s house an heir, though from him thou hast received no boon;
910
while that child of thine and mine hath died unrecognized, a prey to carrion birds, his mother’s swaddling-clothes all lost. Delos hates thee now, thy bay-tree loves thee not,
whose branches sprout beside the tufted palm, where in holy throes Latona, big with child by Zeus, gave birth to thee.

Ach, Leto's Sohn, dir ruf' ich,
Der Schicksalskunden enthullt auf goldenem Stuhl,
Und im mittelsten Size des Erdballs thront, —
In das Ohr dir will ich es rufen:
895
Weh, treuloser Buhle, dir,
Der meinem Gemahle den Jungling
In das Haus führt, ihm, der keinerlei Huld dir erwiesen:
Mein Sohn und dein Sohn schwand unbekannt,
Hin schwand er, von Vågeln des Waldes geraubt,
900
Von den hållenden Windeln der Mutter hinweg.
Ha! Dich haßt Delos, die Zweige des Lorbeers hassen, es haßt
Dich der Palmbaum, prangend in zartem Laub,
Wo Leto dich einst, den unsterblichen Sohn,
Umarmt von Kronion, geboren.
