And they in sooth throughout the land of Asia, no longer own the Persian sway, nor any longer pay their tribute under constraint imposed by their sovereign, nor prostrating themselves on the ground will they hold themselves in subjection: for the might of our monarch hath utterly perished.

Né piú sarà che i popoli
d'Asia il nostro dominio omai sopportino,
che al cenno dei padroni,
i tributi piú rechino;
670
né innanzi ad essi proni
chineranno la testa:
del potere dei Re, nulla piú resta.

O'er the wide Asian land, the Persian sway
605
Can force no tribute now, and can no rule sustain.
Yea, men will crouch no more to fallen power
And kingship overthrown! the whole land o'er,

Asia's Völker, sie beugen
Nimmer hinfort sich dem Perser;
Nicht den Geboten des Zwanges
Huldigend, zollen sie Schoßgeld,
Nicht zur Erde sich werfend,
570
Fröhnen sie mehr; denn des Königs
Scepter zerbrach im Staube.

Daktylisch-trochäi- sche Logaöden. An die Darstellung des Eindrucks der Niederlage auf die nächsten Angehörigen schliefst sich an die der Wirkung auf weitere Kreise: Furcht, daſs jetzt die unter- worfenen Völker das persische Joch abschütteln und dadurch der Zer- fall des ganzen Reiches eintrete. Neque amplius tributa pendunt necessitatibus quae a dominis impo- nuntur. Eur. Andr. 132 δεσποτῶν ἀνάγκαις. προπιτν. vgl. 152. ἄζονται, bezeigen ihre Ehrfurcht dadurch dass sie auf die Kniee fallen.
