Pour the deep ſorrows of my ſoul;
1280
The ſuff'rings of my bleeding country plain,
And bid the Myſian meaſures roll.
Again the voice of wild deſpair
With ſhrilling ſhrieks ſhall pierce the air;
For high the God of War his flaming creſt
1285
Raiſ'd, with the fleet of Greece ſurrounded,
The haughty arms of Greece with conqueſt bleſt,
And Perſia's wither'd force confounded,
Daſh'd on the dreary beach her heroes ſlain,
Or whelm'd them in the darken'd main.

Ahimè, ahimè!
Volgi, tra le querele, ai tetti il piede!
Ahi!, Persia, ahi!, terra dura per chi riede!
Ahimè, riedere in Susa!
Diritto è se tu gemi!
1200
Ahi!, nostra gente, al dolce vivere usa!
Ahi Persia, terra dura per chi riede!

Augenscheinlich ist die durch die Verteilung zwischen Xerxes u. den Chor bedingte Respon- sion, zweifelhaft, ob sie auch bei diesem letzten Teile sich auf anti- strophische Gliederung erstreckte. αἰακτός 8. ν. α. αἰάζων vgl. 931. κίε Suppl. 504. Cho. 680. Begriffe selbst in den Palast ein- zutreten, den er unter so ganz Im anderen Verkältnissen verlassen, empfindet Xerxes dessen Anblick als einen Vorwurf. ἁβροβάται die weiche Fufsbekleidung als nationales Kennzeichen. Vgl. Λυδὲ ποδαβρέ bei Herod. I 55. τρί- σκαλμος 679. βάρισιν 554. πέμψω 8. v. a. προπέμψω (Schol.). Vgl. 530. δυσθρόοις 941. Der Chor ist inzwischen auf der Bühne angelangt (vgl. 1038) und zieht dem Xerxes nach durch die Mittel- thür (im Hintergrund) in den Palast hinein. ÄSCHYLOS, Perser.
