Aeschylus Supplices 144

Chorus
Ye gods, heaven-born, if e'er before,
Hear now the prayers that for this race we pour!
Never may this Pelasgic town,
Fire-wasted, lift the joyless cry
Of Ares, wanton deity,
Who men in other harvest-fields mows down!
For that a gracious law
They passed, to mercy stirred; 630
And for this pity-moving herd,
Thy supplicants, oh Zeus! felt righteous awe.

Thou, virgin daughter of high Jove,
A virgin's vows hear, and approve;
Holding thy ſober, aweful ſtate,
165
Protect us from the touch we hate;
From bold incontinence ſecure,
Pure thyſelf, preſerve us pure;
Save us, O ſave the ſeed divine
Of our great mother's ſacred line;
170
From man's rude touch O ſave us free,
And help inſnared chaſtity!

Sopra me che a lei m'affido, volga il guardo ora la figlia

ella deve, intatta vergine,

me salvar, vergine intatta!

And thou, O maiden-goddess chaste and pure—
Queen of the inner fane,—
Look of thy grace on me, O Artemis,
Thy willing suppliant—thine, thine it is,
Who from the lustful onslaught fled secure,

To grant that I too without stain
The shelter of thy purity may gain!
