Del propio modo se vió privada Danae de la claridad de la luz, en su prisión de bronce, oculta á todos los ojos y cautiva en su sepul. cro,—á pesar de ser ilustre su origen, hija mía, y de haber fecundado su seno Júpiter transformado en lluvia de oro. Pero el poder del Destino es incontrastable¹: sin que puedan librarse de él ni la riqueza, ni el ficro Marte, ni los fuertes castillos, ni las nayes cn cuyos negros costados se estrellan las olas.

Auch der Danaë Leib mufste des Himmels

Licht, die hehre Gestalt, missen im erzdichten

Str. 1.

Haus, und es barg sie fesselnd düsterer Gruft Kerker.
910

Und doch war von Geschlecht edel sie, o Kind, Kind,

und wahrt' hegend des Zeus strömender Saat goldenen Schatz.

Ja stets waltet die Allmacht des Geschicks furchtbar;

Reichthümer nicht, noch Heeresmacht,

nicht feste Burg entrinnen ihr,
915

noch flutumpeitscht die dunklen Schiffe.

También sufrió Dánae cambiar la celestial luz por las tinieblas en mansión ceñida de bronce, y escondida en funerario tálamo está aprisionada. Y en verdad que por su nacimiento era ilustre, ¡oh niña, niña!, y guardaba en su seno los gérmenes de la lluvia de oro de Júpiter. Pero la fatalidad tiene una fuerza terrible ni las riquezas, ni Marte, ni las torres, ni las negras naves que sufren el embate de las olas la pueden evitar.

Sustinuit etiam Daneë coelesti lumine privari in aereo.

conclavi, abditaque sepulcralis thalami iugum tulit; atqui o nata, nata, genere erat nobilis, gremioque recondita servabat auriílua Iovis semina. At ingens est fati vis; quam nec fortis vel Mars, vel turris, neque undisonae nigrae naves effugiant.

Even Danaë’s beauty left the lightsome day.

Closed in her strong and brass-bound tower she lay

In tomb-like deep confine.
945

Yet she was gendered, O my child!

From sires of noblest line,

And treasured for the Highest the golden rain.
950

Fated misfortune hath a power so fell:

Not wealth, nor warfare wild,

Nor dark spray-dashing coursers of the main

Auch der Danaë Reiz mußte des Himmels

(sie wird abgeführt.)

Lichtstrahl einst mit der Nacht tauschen im erzdichten
925

Haus und verborgen

Im grabähnlichen Ruhgemach wohnen.

Und doch war sie, o Kind, Kind, von Geburt edel,

Und trug hegend im Schooß goldener Saat Ströme von Zeus.

Ja, wohl ist des Geschicks Obergewalt furchtbar;
930

Nie kann der Reichthum, Ares nie,¹

Nicht Vesten ihr, kein dunkles Schiff

Entflieh'n, das rings umbraust die Woge.

Chorus.

Remember what fair Danae endured,

Condemned to change he^iven's cheerful light
945

For scenes of horror and of night,

Within a brazen tower long time immured ;

Yet was the maid of noblest race,
950

And honoured e'en with Jove's embrace ;

But, oh ! when fate decrees a mortal's woe

Naught can reverse the doom or stop the blow —

Nor heaven above, nor earth and seas below.

CHOR

Der Leib auch Danaes mufste,

Statt himmlischen Lichts , in Gedult

Das eiserne Gitter haben.

Iın Dunkel lag sie

In der Todtenkammer, in Fesseln ;
985

Obgleich an Geschlechtadel, o Kind!

Sie zählete dem Vater der Zeit

Die Stundenschläge, die goldnen.

Aber des Schiksaals ist furchtbar die Kraft.

Der Reegen nicht, der Schlachtgeist
990

Und der Thurm nicht, und die meerumrauschten

Fliehn sie, die schwarzen Schiffe.

And bonds tamed the son of Dryas, swift to wrath, that king of the Edonians ; so paid he for his frenzied taunts, when, by the will of Dionysus, he was pent in a rocky prison. There the fierce exuberance of his 960 madness slowly passed away. That man learned to know the god, whom in his frenzy he had provoked with mockeries; for he had sought to quell the godpossessed women, and the Bacchanalian fire; and he angered the Muses that love the flute. 2

Chorus

So too endured Danae in her beauty to change

the light of the sky for brass-bound walls, and in that chamber, both burial and bridal, she was held in strict confinement. And yet was she of esteemed lineage, my daughter,
945

and guarded a deposit of the seed of Zeus that had fallen in a golden rain. But dreadful is the mysterious power of fate—there is no deliverance from it by wealth or by war, by towered city, or dark, sea-beaten ships.
950

955

Chorus

And Dryas’s son, the Edonian king swift to rage, was tamed in recompense for his frenzied insults, when, by the will of Dionysus, he was shut in a rocky prison. There the fierce and swelling force of his madness trickled away.
955

That man came to know the god whom in his frenzy he had provoked with mockeries. For he had sought to quell the god-inspired women and the Bacchanalian fire,
960

and he angered the Muses who love the flute.
965

966

Chorus

And by the waters of the Dark Rocks, the waters of the twofold sea, are the shores of Bosporus and the Thracian city Salmydessus,

where Ares, neighbor of that city, saw the accursed, blinding wound inflicted on the two sons of Phineus by his savage wife. It was a wound that brought darkness to the hollows, making them crave vengeance
970

for the eyes she crushed with her bloody hands and with her shuttle for a dagger.
975

977

Chorus

Wasting away in their misery, they bewailed their miserable suffering

and their birth from their mother stripped of her marriage. But she traced her descent from the ancient line of the Erechtheids, and in far-distant caves she was raised amidst her father’s gusts. She was the child of Boreas,
980

running swift as horses over the steep hills, a daughter of gods. Yet she, too, was assailed by the long-lived Fates, my child.
985
