Χορός

ὡς πάνθʼ ὅσʼ ἂν θεὸς θέλῃ χἠ τύχη κατορθοῖ,

χωρεῖ κατὰ νοῦν, ἕτερον δʼ ἑτέρῳ
940

τούτων κατὰ καιρὸν ἀπαντᾷ.

Τρυγαῖος

ὡς ταῦτα δῆλά γʼ ἔσθʼ· ὁ γὰρ βωμὸς θύρασι καὶ δή.

Χορός

ἐπείγετέ νυν ἐν ὅσῳ

σοβαρὰ θεόθεν κατέχει

πολέμου μετάτροπος αὔρα.
945

νῦν γὰρ δαίμων φανερῶς

εἰς ἀγαθὰ μεταβιβάζει.

Τρυγαῖος

τὸ κανοῦν πάρεστʼ ὀλὰς ἔχον καὶ στέμμα καὶ μάχαιραν,

καὶ πῦρ γε τουτί, κοὐδὲν ἴσχει πλὴν τὸ πρόβατον ὑμᾶς.

Χορός

οὔκουν ἁμιλλήσεσθον; ὡς
950

ἢν Χαῖρις ὑμᾶς ἴδῃ,

πρόσεισιν αὐλήσων ἄκλητος,

κᾆτα τοῦτʼ εὖ οἶδʼ ὅτι

φυσῶντι καὶ πονουμένῳ

προσδώσετε δήπου.

Chorus
Singing.

How everything 940 succeeds to our wish, when the gods are willing and Fortune favours us! how opportunely everything falls out.

Trygaeus
returning.

Nothing could be truer, for look! here stands the altar all ready at my door.

He enters his house.

Chorus

Hurry, hurry, for the winds are fickle; make haste, 945 while the divine will is set on stopping this cruel war and is showering on us the most striking benefits.

Trygaeus
returning.

Here is the basket of barley-seed mingled with salt, the chaplet and the sacred knife; and there is the fire; so we are only waiting for the sheep.

Chorus

950 Hasten, hasten, for, if Chaeris sees you, he will come without bidding, he and his flute; and when you see him puffing and panting and out of breath, 955 you will have to give him something.
