Royal dame, venerable majesty of the Persians, do thou convey libations to the chambers beneath the earth, and we, in our lays, will implore the conductors of the dead beneath the earth to be propitious. Come, O ye holy divinities below the earth, both Earth and Mercury, and thou. monarch of the dead, send from beneath the spirit into the light of day; for if he knows any remedy 2
of our ills, he alone could tell the termination more than mortals 3

Yes, royal lady, Perſia's honour'd grace,
760
To earth's dark chambers pour thy off'rings:
We
With choral hymns will ſupplicate the pow'rs
That guide the dead, to be propitious to us.
And you, that o'er the realms of night extend
765
Your ſacred ſway, thee mighty earth, and thee
Hermes;
thee chief, tremendous king, whoſe throne
Awes with ſupreme dominion, I adjure:
THE PERSIANS.
Send, from your gloomy regions, ſend his ſhade
770
Once more to viſit this ætherial light;
That he alone, if ought of dread event
He ſees yet threat'ning Perſia, may diſcloſe
To us poor mortals Fate's extreme decree.

O regina, cui venera il popolo
persiano, i libami tu versa
della terra sui talami.
Ai Dèmoni

che guidan gli estinti
chiederem noi frattanto con gl'inni
che sotterra benigni ci siano.

Queen, by the Persian land adored,
By thee be this libation poured,
Passing to those who hold command
Of dead men in the spirit-land!
And we will sue, in solemn chant,
650
That gods who do escort the dead
In nether realms, our prayer may grant—
Back to us be Darius led!
O Earth, and Hermes, and the king
Of Hades, our Darius bring!
655
For if, beyond the prayers we prayed,
He knoweth aught of help or aid,
He, he alone, in realms below,
Can speak the limit of our woe!

O Königin, Erste von Persis' Frau'n,
605
Auf, sende den Gruß in der Erde Gemach :
Wir flehen indeß im Gesange sie an,
Uns gnädig zu sein,
Die Geleiter der Todten im Hades!
Ihr heiligen Götter des Abgrunds, Ge
610
Und Hermes und du, der die Schatten beherrscht,
O sendet empor an die Sonne den Geist!
Denn weiß er im Leid noch weiteren Rath,
Er verkündet allein uns das Ende.
(Atossa spendet am Grabmal, während die folgenden Strophen ge. sungen werden.)
