Ghost of Darius
O most faithful of the faithful, comrades of my youth, aged Persians, what is it that is troubling the state? The earth groans and is furrowed by the stamp of men. As I behold my wife by my tomb,
I feel alarm, and I accept her libations in kindly mood; while you, standing near my tomb, make lament, and with shrill cries that summon the spirits of the dead, invoke me piteously. Not easy is the path out of the tomb, for this reason above all, that the gods beneath the earth
685
are readier to seize than to release. Nevertheless, since I have obtained dominion among them, I have come. But make haste, so that I may not incur blame regarding the time of my sojourn. What is this unexpected ill that weighs the Persians down?

O Lord of lords, by recklessness twofold

The land is wasted of its men,
And down to death are rolled

Ships that are ships no more,

Weh, weh! Du schiedst,
Ewigbeweint von den Deinen, hinab!
Wer, wenn, o Herr, dein Herrscherstab noch
Waltete, klagte dann
650
Um solchen Weh's zwiefachen Schlag,
Der Persis' Land schlug?
Hin sind die gewaltigen Schiffe,
Treiben entmastet, entmastet!
(Aus der stygischen Pforte schwebt der Geist des Dareios herauf, und schreitet auf die Höhe seines Grabes; die Greise sinken auf die Kniee.)
Dareios.
