disent mes cris aigus, mes sanglots sourds, mes torrents de larmes, et même, hélas! ces clameurs qui distinguent les chants funèbres:
vivante, je conduis mon propre deuil.

Thus I attune my notes of woe,
And bid the varied meaſures flow;
Now the ſhrilling deſcant chaſe,
Now ſolemn ſink the deep'ning baſe;

Thus bid the warbled cadence 'plain,
And ſteep in tears the mournful ſtrain;
A ſtrain to grace my obſequies,
Whilſt yet I view yon' golden ſkies.

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.
