Be thy will for the cause of the maidens! of two ills, the lesser I pray—
The exile that leaveth me pure.
May thy justice have heed to my cause, my prayers to thy mercy find way!
For the hands of thy saving are sure.

et lui fit sentir sa douce puissance.
Qu'il donne la victoire aux femmes — je me résigne au
moindre mal et à deux tiers de bonheur 1 — et qu'une juste sentence vienne à l'appel de la justice, si ma prière est entendue, par les voies libératrices qui sont à la Divinité !

Sooth'd thy lov'd Iö's ſoul to reſt,
With comfort cheer this forrowing breaſt,
1155
And ſave us from this hoſtile band!
For me thro' fortune's cloud hope beams her ray,
And from that bright'ning part goes bright'ning on;
So right ſucceeding right ſhall force its way,
And the good Gods complete what Greece begun.

Wähl' ich das klein're lieber.
Daß dem Recht des Rechtes Sieg
Folge, fügt Gottes Rath auf mein Gebet,
Der aus Leid mein Leben löst.
