Die waltet bei Paktolos' großem, goldnem Strom!
Schon dort, hehre Mutter, dort rief ich zu dir,
Da schmachvollen Hohn ihm des Atreus Geschlecht bot,
Da sie des Vaters Wehr ihm an Laertes' Sohn
Hingaben, als des Ruhms höchsten Preis,

du Sel'ge, die auf Berglöwen hoch,
Den Stierwürgern, thront!

Philoctetes
Well, I now go; but first address this land.
Farewell thou mansion, guardian of my life!
Ye Nymphs, that o'er th' irriguous vales preside,
Farewell, and thou loud roar of dashing waves !
1455
Oft hath your foam within this cavern'd rock,
Driv'n by the stormy South, bedew'd my head.
And thou, Hermæan mountain, who my groans
Hast oft re-echoed in my storms of woe!
Now, O ye fountains, and ye dulcet streams,
I leave you, now I leave you: this my thoughts
Never presaged. Farewell, thou wave-wash'd shore
Of Lemnos; speed my course, and send me safe
Whither my glorious destiny now calls,
1465
The counsels of my friends, and that high pow'r
Whose sovereign will these great events ordain'd!
