The Suppliant Women. (OCR draft) Experimental (The Suppliant Women.. Theodore Alois Buckley, 1849.) — 348 focus
Son of Palacthon, hear me with willing heart, king of the Pelasgians. Behold me a suppliant, an exile, a wanderer, like a white-spotted 2
heifer on the lofty rocks, where trusting for aid she lows telling to the herdsman her troubles.
I behold a youthful band 3
shaded with new-cropped boughs [at the altars] of these gods who preside over the games. But may this business of the guests of our city be unattended with hurt nor let strife arise to the city from unexpected and sudden things, for these the city wants not.
May Themis, the goddess of suppliants, daughter of lot-directing Jove, regard in truth our harmless flight: but do you, though being an old man 4
in mind, learn from one younger; reverencing a suppliant, you shall not be reduced to want. 5
* * * * gifts offered to the gods from a pure man.

Respecte pareilles offrandes à la poupe du vaisseau argien.
escarpés, puis, meuglante, conte sa peine à son bouvier.
Oui, pour que notre exil ne crée point de
maux, daigne Thémis Suppliante 1 , fille de Zeus qui répartit les destins, jeter un regard sur nous! Malgré ton âge et ton savoir, apprends-le de plus jeune que toi : à qui respecte le suppliant ira la prospérité; les temples divins ouverts aux offrandes

Son of Palæcthon, hear me; with an heart
Prompt to relieve, king of Pelafgia, hear.
Behold me ſupplicant, an exile, wand'ring,.

Like the poor lamb, that on the craggy ſteep
Raiſes her mournful voice, ſecure of help,
And warns her faithful keeper of her danger.
I ſee a ſtranger train, with boughs newpluck'd
Shading theſe Gods that o'er the games preſide.
420
May their arrival, tho' now ſtrangers here,
Yet hence deſcended, bring no dread event;
Nor from this ſudden, unexpected hap
Let war, which least we wish, disturb our ſtate.
May Themis, guardian of the ſuppliant, ſprung
425
From pow'rful Jove, look on our harmless flight.
Nor from a younger let thy age diſdain
To learn the reverence due to ſupplicants,
From whoſe pure hands the fav'ring Gods accept
The grateful offering.

O di Palètone figliuolo, ascoltami,
370
re dei Pelasgi, con cuor benevolo.
Vedi me supplice, raminga, profuga,
come giovenca che il lupo incalza
sovra erta balza,
che al sommo vertice giunta, secura
375
leva il suo mugghio,
narra al bifolco la sua iattura.
Dinanzi ai Numi tutelari scorgo
la vostra schiera, e ombrarla i rami supplici.
Buon esito l'arrivo abbia di queste
380
estranee figlie d'Argo; e dagli eventi
inaspettati e impreveduti, guerra
non surga alla città guerre non giovano.
Diva dei supplici, di Zeus che vigila
tutto, ministra, proteggi, o Tèmide,
385
― questa incolpevole fuga. E me giovine,
odi tu, saggio per bianca età.
Abbi pietà
di chi vien supplice. Degna mercede
ne avrai dai Superi,
390
grati alle offerte dell'uom che ha fede.

Antiquæ terræ fili audi me,
Prompto corde Pelaſgorum rex.
Vide magnum ſupplicem exulem circa currentem
330
Tanqnam albam uitulam in petris
Excelsis ſubſidium credulum reboat
Dicens labores bubulco.
Video ramis recenter decerptis umbraculum,
Iuuenemq; cæternam horum forenſium deorum.
335
Erit innocuum hoc negotium ciuibus.
Neq; ex inſperatis & improuidis urbi,
Contentio fiat, his enim non eget urbs.
Videret uidelicet innocuam fugam,
Iceſia Themis Iouis Clarij filia.

Tu ab alienato intellige ſenex cum ſis
Parricidam ueritus, ex quo
Sacra conſilia deorum
A uiro casto.

Child of Palaichthon, royal chief
Of thy Pelasgians, hear!
Bow down thine heart to my relief—
A fugitive, a suppliant, swift with fear,
A creature whom the wild wolves chase
385
O'er toppling crags; in piteous case
Aloud, afar she lows,
Calling the herdsman's trusty arm to save her from her foes!
Lo, with bowed heads beside our city shrines
Ye sit 'neath shade of new-plucked olive-boughs.
390
Our distant kin's resentment Heaven forefend!
Let not this hap, unhoped and unforeseen,
Bring war on us: for strife we covet not.
Justice, the daughter of right-dealing Zeus,
Justice, the queen of suppliants, look down,
395
That this our plight no ill may loose
Upon your town!
This word, even from the young, let age and wisdom learn:
If thou to suppliants show grace,
Thou shalt not lack Heaven's grace in turn,
400
So long as virtue's gifts on heavenly shrines have place.

Palächthons theurer Sohn, höre mich
330
Mit huldreichem Sinn, hoher Pelasgerfürst!
Schaue mich flüchtige, schußflehende, zitternde,
Gleich dem gescheuchten Lamm, das an der Felsenwand
Schwindelnden Höhen irrt! Hoffend auf Hülfe, blöckt es,
Und kündet sein Leid dem Hirten.
335
Von frischgepflückten Zweigen überschattet, winkt
Huldblickend, seh' ich, dort der Kampfgottheiten Chor.
O daß der Fremden Nähe doch uns keinen Harm
Bereite, daß nicht plöhlich, unvorherbedacht,
Sich Kampf entſpinne! Keines Kampfs bedarf die Stadt.
340
Erste Gegenstrophe.
Laß uns der Stadt kein Leid bringen, Kind
Des Looslenkers Zeus, Themis, der Flücht'gen Hort!
Und von den jüngeren Frau'n hör' es, erfahrner Greis:
Wenn du den Flüchtling ehrst, mangelt dir's nimmerdar,
Wird dir ein selig Loos! Freudig empfangen Götter
345
Das Opfer von reinen Händen.

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.
