Ja, wenn ich anders meine Kunst in Hermes' Hut

Wohl übe, werd' ich keinen Fehl an dir begehn:

Ich überbringe, wie es ist, ihm dies Gefäß,
Und füge treu die Worte, die du sprachst, hinzu.

Nun magst du hingeh'n: ist es dir doch wohlbekannt,
Wie dort die Sachen alle steh'n in unserm Haus.

Chorus
O you who dwell by the warm springs near ships’ haven and rocky cliff, and you who live by
the crags of Oeta! And you dwellers by the land-locked waters of the Malian gulf, and the headland sacred to the virgin-goddess of the golden shuttle, where are the famed councils of the Greeks at the gates!

Chorus
Soon the glorious voice of the flute will go up for you again, sounding no bothersome, strident notes, but divine music worthy of the lyre! For the son whom Alcmena bore to Zeus
640
is hurrying homeward, with spoils won by supreme valor.

Chorus
We thought him lost utterly to our land, a wanderer over sea, while we waited through twelve long months and knew nothing.
She, his loving wife, miserable, was ever pining in her miserable heart, always weeping. But now Ares, stung to rage, has freed her days from their toil.

Chorus
May he come, may he come! Let him not halt the many-oared ship that carries him before he has reached this town, leaving the island altar where he is reported to be sacrificing!
655
May he come from there full of desire, steeped in love on the pretext of the robe by Persuasion’s all-powerful ointment!

As to the wearing of new, or freshly washed, garments on such occasions, cp.
Od.4. 750

531-632. mvp-comment-400-1 Deianira, who has already prepared the charmed robe, confides her intention to the Trachinian maidens, and, on Lichas' coming forth, entrusts the gift to him, with the appropriate commands.
613. mvp-comment-461-1 The words καινῷ καινόν, as Dindorf observes, are thrown together according to a very frequent idiom, for which, cp. especially Αj. 467, μόνος μόνοις. The meaning of καινόν is therefore not to be pressed. But it may hint the appropriateness of the new robe to Heracles' first appearance after his long absence.
