By no means do you sit at the hearth of my house: but if the city be polluted in common, together let the people take care to work out remedies: but I could not perform a promise, before at least having communicated with all these of 1
citizens concerning these things.

Make not your requeſt
To me in private: if pollution ſtains
The public ſtate, the public has the charge
To expiate that ſtain; nor can my voice,
E'er conſultation with the people held,.

Ma non sedete innanzi al focolare
della mia casa. Se contagio macchia
la città, deve tutto quanto il popolo
provvedere ai rimedî. Io la promessa
395
non ti farò, se prima i cittadini
dell'evento non sian resi partecipi.

Not at my private hearth ye sit and sue;
And if the city bear a common stain,
Be it the common toil to cleanse the same:
Therefore no pledge, no promise will I give,

Ere counsel with the commonwealth be held.

Doch lagert ihr an meines Hauses Herde nicht.
Trifft denn gemeinsam diese Stadt der Fluch, so muß
Das Volk gemeinsam sorgen, daß der Fluch entweicht.
Ich könnte Nichts erfüllen, und verhieß ich's auch,

Bevor ich Alles kundgethan vor allem Volk.
Zweite Strophe.

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.
