Danaus
I commend these sensible prayers, dear children; but do not be troubled yourselves when you hear the unexpected and startling tidings your father has to tell. From my post of look-out here on the sanctuary of suppliants I see that ship; for it is well-marked and does not escape me:
710
the trimming of its sail, its side-guards, and the prow that with its eyes scans its onward course, obeying—all too well for those to whom it is unfriendly—the guiding rudder at the stern. The men on board are plainly seen, their black
715
limbs showing from their white attire. The rest of the ships and all the assisting fleet stand clear in view: but the leading ship herself has furled her sail and draws near the shore with full sweep of sounding oars. Yet
720
you must face the matter calmly and with self-control, and not be unmindful of these gods. For my part, I will secure allies and advocates to urge our cause, and return. Perhaps some herald or envoys may come, eager to seize you as a prize and drag you away, but nothing will happen: do not fear them.
725
Yet in the event that we should be slow in bringing aid, it would be better not to forget for a moment the means of help you have here at hand. Courage! In good time, assuredly, and on the day ordained, he who dishonors the gods will suffer punishment.
730
Chorus
Father, I am afraid. With what swift wings the ships
approach! There is not much time left.

No devastating curse of fell disease
This city seize;
No clamour of the State arouse to war
Ares, from whom afar
740
Shrinketh the lute, by whom the dances fail—
Ares, the lord of wail.
Swarm far aloof from Argos' citizens
All plague and pestilence,
And may the Archer-God our children spare!

Nie zu der Männer Tod stürme Verderben her,

Cither und Reigen haßt, thränengebärenden Krieg
Und Volksaufruhr zum Kampfe waffnet!

Lag're feindlicher Seuchen
Schwarm; mild schüße des Phöbos Hand
Alle die Jugend des Landes!
