Throw me, e'er that deteſted day,
To prowling dogs and rav'nous birds a prey.
No form of death affrights me now:
890
O thou, aſſign'd the wretches' friend,
To bid his miſeries end,
And in oblivion's balm to ſteep his woe;
Come, gentle death, e'er that ſad hour
Which drags me to the nuptial bed;
895
And let me find in thy ſoft pow'r
A refuge from the force I dread;
O ſpread thy ſable cloud,
And in its unpierc'd gloom our forrows ſhroud!

From wailing and curse and pollution it is death, only death, sets me free:
Let death come upon me before to the ravisher's bed I am thrust;

Wohl auch der Hunde Beute, wohl auch heimischer

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. Dieser ist bedenklich wegen der schweren Folgen, welche die Zusage des Schutzes für sein Land haben kann. 3. Kommos (350-422): Fortsetzung der Bitte. 4. Chorikon (423-446), welches das Nachsinnen des Königs zu Gunsten der Da- naiden zu wenden sucht. 5. Dialog des Königs, des Koryphaios und des Danaos (447-532): Der König offenbart seinen Entschluß die Entscheidung dem Volke anheim- zugeben.
