The Suppliant Women. (OCR draft) Experimental (The Suppliant Women.. Theodore Alois Buckley, 1849.) — 1057 focus
How can I behold the divine mind, a fathomless view? Pray now for moderate things.
Not to pry into the affairs of the gods.
Let him afford strength also to women. I prefer the better of two evils, and partly good and partly bad 2
, and that justice follow justice with my prayers by liberating aid from the god.

Puis-je prétendre contempler la pensée de Zeus, plonger ma vue dans l'abîme ?
Rien de trop », même avec les dieux 1 !
Décidé.
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 2 — 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 !

Know'ſt thou his will? Or has thine eye
Look'd thro' futurity?
Almighty Sire, whoſe healing hand
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.

A che speculare il pensiero
1120
di Giove, l'estèrmine bàratro?
Questo imene con gl'infesti
1125
miei parenti, iniquo imene,
o Giove, fa' che da me lunge resti,
tu che un giorno con medica palma
lo sciogliesti dalle pene,
per addurla a nuova calma.
1130
Alle donne forze ei dia!
Sarò paga, ove a due parti
di male, una di ben commista sia.
Dian trionfo a giustizia gli Dei,
con le vindici loro arti,
1135
per virtú dei voti miei.

Dolores soluit Pæonia manu obtinens,
Propitia ui codens, robur distribuens mulieribus.

Et causa causæ, ſequi cum precibus meis,
Solutoriis machinis à Deo.

How should I scan Zeus' mighty will,
The depth of counsel undescried?
Zeus, hold from my body the wedlock detested, the bridegroom abhorred!
It was thou, it was thou didst release
Mine ancestress Io from sorrow: thine healing it was that restored,
1105
The touch of thine hand gave her peace.
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.

Wie vermag ich es, des Zeus Sinn
Zu durchschau'n, Räthsel des Abgrunds?
Wehre du von uns, o Zeus,
Den verhaften, feindlichen
•1010 Bund mit den schnöden Männern,
1010
Du, der Jo's Kummer einst
Durch der Hand linden Druck bewältigend,
Heil erschus mit süßer Kraft!
Vierte Gegenstrophe.
Du verleihe Sieg den Frau'n!
Wenn ein doppelt Leid mir droht,
1015
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.
