Our female band with pity view,
615
And think from whoſe rich blood our honour'd
race we drew.
If Argive lö's blooming grace
Cou'd e'er thy fond enamour'd boſom move
To warm deſire, and rapt'rous love,

The pleaſing memory of her charms retrace.
From her our race divine we boaſt,
Not foreign to this Argive coaft.

progenie antica nostra:

portavi un giorno, anche una volta mostra,
memore ivi di quando
lo disfiorasti. D'esser tua progenie
ci glorïam, dal nostro suolo in bando.

Unto the maidens turn thy gracious care;
585
Think yet again upon the tale of fame,
How from the maiden loved of thee there sprung
Mine ancient line, long since in many a legend sung!
Remember, O remember, thou whose hand
Did Io by a touch to human shape reclaim.

For from this Argos erst our mother came
Driven hence to Egypt's land,
Yet sprung of Zeus we were, and hence our birth we claim.

Auf unser Fleh'n hörend, erneue du den Ruhm

erstes Epeisodion. 1. Szene (182—239): Danaos und der Koryphaios. Danaos kündigt das Nahen des Königs an und gibt seinen Töchtern Verhaltungsmaß- regeln. 2. Szene (240 - 349): Pelas- gos und die Vorigen. Die Danaiden erklären ihre Herkunft von Argos und erflehen als ungerecht Ver- folgte den Schutz des Argivischen Königs.

Chorikon (423-446), welches das Nachsinnen des Königs zu Gunsten der Da- naiden zu wenden sucht. 5.
