The Suppliant Women. (OCR draft) Experimental (The Suppliant Women.. Theodore Alois Buckley, 1849.) — 418 focus
Consider, and be most justly a pious receiver of strangers, betray not the exile driven from afar by godless expulsion:
nor behold me dragged as a pledge from the seats sacred to many gods, O you who possess the whole sway of the land. But consider the insolence of men, and guard against their wrath.
In nowise endure to behold the suppliant led from the images in spite of Justice, like a steed, and the seizing of my fillets and robes woven with many threads.
For know, whatever you determine, there awaits your children and your house to suffer a like justice. Consider these just commands of Jove.

vengeur 1 qui, même dans l'Hadès, ne lâche point le mort: Dites, n'ai-je pas besoin d'une pensée qui sauve?
Ne livre pas la fugitive qu'un exil impie a de si loin jetée sur ces rivages.
Refuse-toi à me voir arrachée de ce sanctuaire consacré à
tant de dieux, ô maître suprême d'Argos. Comprends la démesure des mâles;
préviens le courroux que tu sais!
entraînée loin de l'autel, comme une cavale, par ses bandeaux, et des mains saisir le tissu serré de mes voiles.
Sache-le, quoi que tu fasses, tes enfants et ta maison en
devront un jour payer à Arès 2 la stricte récompense. Réfléchis bien le règne de Zeus est celui de la justice.

Deliberate then with prudent care:
To thy counſels take with thee
Heav'ncommercing piety,
And be ſtedfaſt juſtice near.
Hark! methinks I hear them ſay,
490
Do not, mighty king, betray
Wretched exiles wand'ring far.
See me not with ruffian hand,
Refug'd at this ſhrine, profan'd,
Learn what boiſt'rous man may dare.
495
See me not with ruffled veſt t
Rent unfeemly from my breaſt,
Looſe my treſſes waving round,
Bridled with this golden brede,
Led, like a reluctant ſteed,
500
From the Gods that guard this ground.
See each hallow'd image here,
And the aweful pow'rs revere :
At thy feet thy ſuppliant laid,
Mighty monarch, hear and aid !
505
And know, to thee, thy houſe, thy riſing race
Impartial juſtice ſhall repay the deed;
With glory's radiant crown thy virtues grace,
And righteous Jove ſhall ſanctify the meed.

Medita, e in tutto mostrati
450
pio protettor degli ospiti,
come Giustizia chiede.
No, non tradir la profuga,
che dall'avversa furia
d'empî sospinta, qui supplice siede.
455
Né patir che mi scaccino
dalle sedi santissime,
o tu che in questa terra
il poter sommo eserciti.
E sappi di questi uomini
460
lungi tener l'ingiurïosa guerra.
Non soffrire che in onta a la Giustizia
via si strappin le supplici
dai simulacri santi,
come puledre, ai redini
465
ghermite delle tortili
bende, e dei ricchi manti.
Che le tue case ed i tuoi figli, sappilo,
quanti di te nascessero,
all'opre tue conforme
470
triste o felice l'esito
avran. Di Giove medita
perciò le sante norme.

Yea, counsel take and stand to aid
At Justice' side and mine.
Betray not me, the timorous maid
460
Whom far beyond the brine
A godless violence cast forth forlorn.
O King, wilt thou behold—
Lord of this land, wilt thou behold me torn
From altars manifold?
465
Bethink thee of the young men's wrath and lust,
Hold off their evil pride;
Steel not thyself to see the suppliant thrust
From hallowed statues' side,
Haled by the frontlet on my forehead bound,
470
As steeds are led, and drawn
By hands that drag from shrine and altar-mound
My vesture's fringèd lawn.
Know thou that whether for Aegyptus' race
Thou dost their wish fulfil,
475
Or for the gods and for each holy place—
Be thy choice good or ill,
Blow is with blow requited, grace with grace.
Such is Zeus' righteous will.

Sorge du, sei, o Herr,
400
Allgerecht frommgesinnt, unser Schuh!
Nicht dahin gib die Schaar,
Die Gewalt ruchlos aus-
trieb in dies ferne Land!
Erste Gegenstrophe.
Dulde nie, daß man uns
405
Raubt vom gottreichen Siz, der du, Herr,
Alle Macht übst im Land!
Sich des Feind's Uebermuth,
Seinen Grimm halte fern!
Zweite Strophe.
Dulde nie, daß man uns Flehende
410
Hier von der Götter Bild, o Schmach! wider Recht,
Dem Nosse gleich, am bunt
Schimmernden Band der Stirn, am Kleid schleppt hinweg!
Zweite Gegenstrophe.
Glaube fest, deinem Stamm, deinem Haus,
Was du auch wählen magst, steht ein Gericht bevor
415
In gleich schwerem Kampf.
Denke denn: mächtig und gerecht waltet Zeus!

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.

Chorikon. Auf die Debatte folgt die Beratung. Wie Pers. 626 ff. u. Cho. 152 ff. die äußere Handlung, das Opfer am Grabe, so wird hier das stille Nachdenken des Königs von einem Chorgesang begleitet, welcher auf den Ent- schluß des Königs einzuwirken sucht und noch einmal die (drei) Gründe zusammenfaßt, welche den schwankenden König für die Dana- iden günstig stimmen sollen:,,Habe Mitleid mit den Verfolgten, laß uns nicht von heiliger Stätte weg- reißen, laß nicht deine Schützlinge grausam mißhandeln. Dein Tun wird deinen Kindern und deinem Hause Fluch oder Segen bringen".
