The Suppliant Women. (OCR draft) Experimental (The Suppliant Women.. Theodore Alois Buckley, 1849.) — 739 focus
The offspring of Ægyptus is bold and insolent, and insatiate of the fight; and I speak to you who know it:
and possessing black wood-compacted ships they have sailed here with wrath thus far successful, together with a numerous swarthy host.
And they shall find many who have their arms well-hardened to toil in the meridian heat.
But they are wily and deceitful with impure minds, like crows, caring nought for the altars.
if they were hateful both to you and to the gods.
But they are very haughty, maddened with impious rage, of dog-like boldness, in no respect obeying regarding the gods.
But there is a saying that wolves are superior to dogs; and the fruit of the papyrus surpasses not the ear of corn.

aie confiance, ils combattront pour toi, j'en suis bien sûr, va. 1
voilà la dévorante engeance d'Égyptos et insatiables de combats : tu le sais comme moi 2 .
nombreux aussi sont ceux qu'ils y rencontreront, les bras polis par l'ardeur des midis.
pleins de pensers criminels, de desseins perfides, au fond de leurs cœurs impurs, pas plus que des corbeaux n'ont souci des autels.
Ce serait pour nous tout profit, ma fille, s'ils se faisaient haïr des dieux comme de toi.
sont sourds à la voix des dieux.
des chiens ? Et parmi les fruits de la terre, ce n'est pas le souchet qui commande à l'épi 3 !

Since this decree is paſs'd, fear not, my child;
815
Argos, I know, will arm in your defence.
Fatally fierce they are, and on their pride
Deſtruction waits, and neverfated war,
Theſe ſons of old Ægyptus, not to thee
Unknown: E'en now their firmcompacted ſhips
820
Black o'er the angry deep inſulting ride,
Eager to land their ſabletinctur'd hoſts.
And they ſhall find an hoſt, whoſe toil-ſtrung arms f
Relax not in the ſun's meridian heat.
Like obſcene crows, ſpare not the hallow'd altar.
Now fair befall our cauſe, if their mad rage,
Inſulting thee, my child, inſults the Gods.
830
Neither theſe tridents, nor this folemn ſcene
Will awe them to refrain their impious hands.
They ſcorn the Gods, and with unhallow'd force
Ruſh madly on, like ſavage, rav'ning dogs.
But dogs, they ſay, yield to the maſt'ring wolves g

835
And the ſoft reed to the firm ſpiked corn.

Figlie, poi che gli Argivi il voto diedero,
pugneranno per voi, certo: fate animo!
795
Sola non mi lasciar, padre, ti prego.
Nulla è, sola, una donna, e nulla vale.
E di rovina, di mal sono artefici
quelli, sono empî di cuore, son cani
che niun rispetto nutron dell'are.
800
Per noi vantaggio esser potrebbe, o figlie.
se ai Numi, oltre che a noi, vengono in odio.
Troppo superbi nell' empio furore,
805
gonfi di rabbia, con foia di cani,
rispetto alcuno non hanno dei Numi.
Fama è che piú dei cani i lupi valgano;
né cede al frutto del papiro il grano.

Postqua perfectum est ò natæ Argiuorum suffragia
Audaciâ pugnabunt, pro te noui ipſe.

Hasta compactas nigroculorum habentes,
Naues nauigarunt sic celeri ira,
Vrbe cum nigro exercitu.

Multos inuenient in mediterraneo.
Fouent brachium bene fortiter.
Deceptores, & fallaces
705
Impuri corui tanquam aras
Nihil curantes.
Nobis pulchrè conferunt hæc ò natæ,
Si tibi à dijs auerſetur.
Superbi uerò profano robore
Stolidi & impudentes exiſtentes.
Sed fama eſt lupos meliores canibus
Eſse, bibliq; fructus non ſuperat ſpicam.

Children, take heart; they who decreed to aid
Thy cause will arm for battle, well I ween.
In their wrath they o'ertake us; the prow is deep-dark
In the which they have sped,
And dark is the bench and the crew of the bark!
Yea but a crew as stout they here shall find,
810
And arms well steeled beneath a noon-day sun.
With guile they pursue me, with counsel malign,
And unholy their soul;
815
And as ravens they seize me, unheeding the shrine!
Fair will befall us, children, in this chance,
If thus in wrath they wrong the gods and you.
Unholy and daring and cursed is their ire,
Nor own they control
Of the gods, but like jackals they glut their desire!
Ay, but Come wolf, flee jackal, saith the saw;
Nor can the flax-plant overbear the corn.

Fest steht der Argossöhne Spruch; so sei getrost,
Mein Kind; ste kämpfen, zweifle nicht, den Kampf für euch.
Erste Gegenstrophe.
Und an gewölbter, blauschimmernder Kiele Bord
Schifften sie her (mit Glück zeigte der Zorn die Bahn)
Sammt dunkler Männer zahlreichem Zug.
Sie werden Viele treffen, die im glühenden
710
Mittage wacker abgehärtet Brust und Arm.
Zweite Strophe.
Tückischen Sinnes, ha! tückischer Ränke voll
In unheil'ger Brust, werden sie, Raben gleich,
715
Keines Altares achten.
Ein großer Vortheil wäre das für uns, o Kind,
Wenn ihr vereint mit Göttern sie befeindetet.
Zweite Gegenstrophe.
Maßlos im Troye kühnfrevelnden Uebermuths,
In wahntrunk'ner Gier hündischer Dreistigkeit,
Achten sie nicht der Götter.
Doch lehrt das Sprüchwort, Wölfe seien mächtiger
Als Hunde; Byblos' Staude zwingt die Aehre nicht.

drittes Epeisodion: 1. Danaos, welcher bisher auf dem Götteraltare stand und nach der Meerseite spähte (721), kündigt das Nahen der Ägyptischen Flotte an und gibt seine Absicht kund Hilfe zu holen. 2. In dem Kommos 742-769 drücken die Danaiden dem Vater ihre Angst aus, während dieser sie zu beruhigen sucht. 3. Danaos bleibt bei seinem Ent- schlusse in der Hoffnung vor dem Ausschiffen der ägyptischen Mann- schaft mit Hilfe zurückzukommen. (Der Dichter braucht eben den Schauspieler, welcher den Danaos gegeben hat, für den Herold der Ägyptiaden.)

Kommos. Jede Strophe und Antistrophe beginnt mit zwei Trimetern, welche, wie es scheint, der κορυφαῖος vorträgt, während die melische Partie der Chor singt. Jeder Strophe und Antistrophe folgen zwei Trimeter des Danaos.
