Alas! swift indeed came the accomplishment of the oracles; and upon my son Jove hath inflicted the consummation of the divine declarations. I have expected that the gods would bring these things to their complete fulfillment after a long issue 1
. But when a man is himself speeding onward, god also lends a hand. Now a fountain of ills seems to have been discovered for my friends. And my son, not understanding this, hath brought it about by his youthful presumption; who hoped to check in its course the sacred Hellespont, the Bosphorus, stream of the god, like a slave, with bonds, and was for reducing the stream to order; and binding it with hammer-wrought fetters, accomplished a great road for his great army, and he unwisely thought, mortal as he was, that he should get the mastery of all the gods, and of Neptune. Did not therefore a distemper of soul possess my son? I fear lest my great store of wealth shall become a prey to the first comer.

elle est vite venue, la réalisation des oracles, et c'est sur mon propre fils que Zeus a laissé
tomber l'achèvement des prophéties. Je me flattais qu'il faudrait aux dieux de longs jours pour les accomplir jusqu'au bout ; mais, quand un mortel s'emploie à sa perte, les dieux viennent l'y aider : aujourd'hui, c'est une source de malheurs qu'ont été se chercher les miens ; et c'est mon fils qui, sans comprendre, a fait cela dans sa jeune imprudence ! lui qui a conçu l'espoir d'arrêter dans son cours,
par des chaînes d'esclave, l'Hellespont sacré, le Bosphore où coule un dieu ! qui prétendait transformer un détroit et, en lui passant des entraves forgées au marteau, ouvrir une immense route à son immense armée ! Mortel, il a cru, en sa déraison, pouvoir triompher de tous les dieux
de Poséidon ! Peut-on nier qu'un vrai mal de l'esprit ne tînt là mon enfant ? J'ai peur que l'énorme richesse conquise par mon labeur ne soit plus pour les hommes qu'un butin offert aux plus prompts.

With what a winged courſe the oracles
Haſte their completion?
With the light'ning's ſpeed
Jove on my ſon hath hurl'd his threaten'd venge-
ance:
890
Yet I implor'd the Gods that it might fall
In time's late proceſs:
but when raſhneſs drives
Impetuous on, the ſcourge of Heav'n uprais'd
Laſhes the Fury forward;
895
hence theſe ills
Pour headlong on my friends.
Not weighing this
My ſon, with all the firey pride of youth,
Hath quicken'd their arrival, whilſt he hoped
900
To bind the ſacred Helleſpont, to hold
The raging Boſphorus, like a ſlave, in chains x
,
And dared th' advent'rous paſſage, bridging firm
With links of ſolid iron his wond'rous way,
THE PERSIANS.
To lead his numerous hoſt; and, ſwell'd with thoughts
905
Preſumptuous, deem'd, vain mortal, that his pow'r
Shou'd riſe above the Gods, and Neptune's might.
And was not this the frenzy of the ſoul?
But much I fear leſt all my treaſur'd wealth
Fall to ſome daring hand an eaſy prey.

Come presto degli oracoli giunse, ahimè!, l'esito!
Il Dio il successo dei responsi suscitò sul figliuol mio!
lo speravo che i Celesti ne tardassero l'evento;
840
ma se tu premi, lo stesso Nume affretta il compimento.
Ecco, un fonte di malanni sugli amici ora s'è aperto:
il figliuol mio lo dischiuse, baldanzoso ed inesperto,
che pensò dell'Ellesponto come un servo il sacro fiume
porre in vincoli, e del Bosforo le fluenti sacre al Nume;
845
e stringendo ferrei ceppi sopra il tramite marino,
lo mutò, sí che all'esercito grande aprisse ampio cammino.
Ei mortale, soverchiare s'avvisò - stolto consiglio!
tutti i Numi, e fin Posídone.
Di' se stolto fu mio figlio!
850
Deh!, la pena ond'io raccolsi tanti beni, non profitti
ad estranie genti, al primo che le mani su vi gitti!

Sed quado festinat aliquis Deus, ipſe coaptatur illi.

Filius meus hæc no refpicies, pfecit iuuenili audacia
Quiſacrum Hellefpontum tanqua feruum uinculis
Sperauit cohibere, fluentem bofphorus fluentü Dei.
Et uadum adaptauit, pedicisq; malleo cuſis

Woe for the oracle fulfilled, the presage of the war
Launched on my son, by will of Zeus! I deemed our doom afar
In lap of time; but, if a king push forward to his fate,
755
The god himself allures to death that man infatuate!
So now the very fount of woe streams out on those I loved,
And mine own son, unwisely bold, the truth hereof hath proved!
He sought to shackle and control the Hellespontine wave,
That rushes from the Bosphorus, with fetters of a slave!—
760
To curb and bridge, with welded links, the streaming water-way,
And guide across the passage broad his manifold array!
Ah, folly void of counsel! he deemed that mortal wight
Could thwart the will of Heaven itself and curb Poseidon's might!
Was it not madness? much I fear lest all my wealth and store
765
Pass from my treasure-house, to be the snatcher's prize once more!

Wehe! Schnell hat sich des Schicksals Wort erfüllt, und meinem Sohn
Ward von Zeus verhängt das Ende dieses Spruchs; ich hoffte wohl,
Erst in später Zeit erfüllen werde dies der Götter Rath.
715
Aber wenn du's selbst beschleunigst, beut dir auch ein Gott die Hand.
Jebo scheint den Meinen allen aufgethan des Jammers Born.
Doch mein Sohn, das nicht erkennend, trokt' in kecem Jugendmuth,
Der des heil'gen Hellespontos stolze Flut in Fesselzwang
Sklavengleich zu ketten wähnte, Bosporos, des Gottes Strom,
720
Der den Pfad umschuf des Meeres, und mit erzgehämmerter
Bande Joch dem großen Heerzug kühn erschloß die große Bahn,
Der, ein Mensch, die Götter alle, ja Poseidon selbst, im Wahn
Blöden Muths zu meistern hoffte! Hatte nicht Wahnsinn den Geist
Meines Sohns umstrickt? Ich fürchte, mein so schwer errungner Schay
725
Wird des kühnen Räubers Beute, den zuerst danach verlangt.
