For the male offspring of Ægyptus intolerable in insolence pursuing me with speed, seek with foul abuse to seize me a fugitive by force. But the beam of your balance is over all: and what without you is perfected to mortals?
Ah! ah! ah! Here is the sea [and] land seizer 7
. Mayest thou, Heigh ho! toil before the shore bringing to here, I utter a cry of pain. I see these preludes are a warranty of violent treatment, of me. Alas! alas! go in flight to [seek] protection against their fell desires, intolerable both by sea and land, O king, defend us 8

tout-puissant, seigneur d'Argos.
Car les fils d'Égyptos intolérable démesure mâles
en chasse sur mes pas, vont pressant la fugitive de leurs lubriques clameurs et prétendent l'avoir de force ! Mais le fléau de la balance, Toi seul le tiens : est-il donc rien chez les mortels qui se puisse accomplir sans Toi ?
Très agité. Elles aperçoivent au loin une troupe d'Égyptiens.
Ah ! ah ! Le ravisseur est là 1

Ægyptus' ſons, a ruffian race,
Our flying footſteps chace;
And on our trembling, weeping band
910
Advance to lay their vengeful hand:
Extend thy golden ſcales,
For without thee what mortal worth avails?
By land, by ſea,
They ſeek their prey;
915
Oh, e'er they ſeize it, may the ruffians die !
Again I raiſe the mournful cry.
They come, they come, the haughty foes:
Theſe are but preludes to my woes,
To yon' ſtrong rampires bend your flight;
920
By ſea, by land they ruſh ſevere,
And with their ſtern and threat'ning air,
The ſoftneſs of our ſex affright.
Look down, thou Sovereign of the World, and ſave!

Poi che la maschia egizia
schiatta, per tracotanza insopportabile,
sull'orme mie si lancia,
che in folle fuga erro con alti gemiti,
e a forza tenta cogliermi.
870
Ma tu della bilancia
governi il giogo. E che possiamo noi
nati alla morte, quando tu non vuoi?
Ahimè, ahimè, ahi ahi!
Questo predone
875
ch'era sul legno or ora,
vicino è già.
Predone prima prima tu mora!
Via di qua,
via di qua!

Torna di nuovo al lido.
Ora con questo ciglio
lo scorgo e levo un grido.
È ben questo il preludio
dei miei tormenti e dell'avversa furia.

Ahimè, ahimè!
Corri, corri al rifugio!

For the race of Aegyptus is fierce, with greed and with malice afire;
870
They cry as the questing hounds, they sweep with the speed of desire.
But thine is the balance of fate, thou rulest the wavering scale,
And without thee no mortal emprise shall have strength to achieve or prevail.
Alack, alack! the ravisher—
He leaps from boat to beach, he draweth near!
875
Away, thou plunderer accurst!
Death seize thee first,
Or e'er thou touch me—off! God, hear our cry,
Our maiden agony!
Ah, ah, the touch, the prelude of my shame.
880
Alas, my maiden fame!
O sister, sister, to the altar cling,
For he that seizeth me,
Grim is his wrath and stern, by land as on the sea.
Guard us, O king!

Denn sieh, Aegyptos' Söhne, frech,
Mit unerträglich wildem Trok
In hastigem Laufe stürmen sie
780
Der Flüchtigen nach; mit wildem Ruf
Trachten sie gewaltsam mich zu fah'n.
Dein ist die Wage, du
Wäge! Schaffst du nicht das Gedeih'n,
Was könnte der Mensch vollenden?

Ha, der Räuber dort im Schiff kam zum Strand!

viertes Epeisodion: 1. Die Danaiden werden mit Ent- setzen des nahenden Herolds der Ägyptiaden gewahr und flüchten zum Altare. Der Herold erscheint und herrscht die Danaiden an (832-855). 2. Kommos (856-921), eine aufgeregte Szene, in welcher der Herold die Danaiden mit Drohungen und Gewalt bewegen will ihm zu den Schiffen zu folgen. 3. Der König weist den gewalt- tätigen Herold ab, welcher vor seinem Abtreten Krieg ankündigt. Den Danaiden überläßt der König die Wahl ihres Aufenthalts (922-976). 4. Die Danaiden wollen diese Wahl ihrem Vater anheimgeben und befehlen ihren Dienerinnen neben ihnen sich aufzustellen (977-990). 5. Danaos kommt mit einer Leibwache zu- rück um seine Töchter nach Argos zu bringen (991-1028). Die Partie 832-909 ist in einer sehr verderbten Gestalt überliefert, so daß sich an mehreren Stellen kaum nur der Sinn des ursprünglichen Textes erkennen läßt. Außer Pers. 678-680 findet sich glücklicher- weise im ganzen Äschylos keine Stelle, die auch nur annähernd einen so entstellten Text hätte. Vgl.,,Über die Textüberlieferung des Aschylos" in den Sitzungsb. der Münch. Ak. d. W. 1888 II S. 347 f.
