My friends, whosoever is experienced in evils knows that when a sea-surge of troubles comes upon mortals, they are wont to dread all things: but when fortune glides smoothly, to feel confident that the same divinity will constantly propel their fortunes with a favourable breeze. For to me now all things are full of terror, and before my eyes appear the adverse dispensations of the gods; and there is ringing in my ears a strain not soothing; such an amazement in consequence of these horrors scares my soul. Wherefore I have come this way from my house a second time, without either car or my former pomp, bringing propitiatory drink-offerings for the sire of my child, things which are soothing charms to the dead; both, white milk, sweet for drink, from a holy cow, and the distillation of the flower-craftsman, transparent honey, along with limpid drops of a virgin fountain 1
, and this pure liquid from its wild mother, the glory of an ancient vine; and the fragrant fruit of the pale-green olive, that ever flourishes as to life in its leaves, is at hand, and wreathed flowers, children of the all-teeming earth. But, my friends, chaunt ye lays in accordance with these libations of the dead, and call up the divine Darius, and I will convey to the gods below these honours that are to be drank by earth.

Whoe'er, my friends, in the rough ſtream of life
Hath ſtruggled with affliction, thence is taught
That, when the flood begins to ſwell, the heart
Fondly fears all things: when the fav'ring gale
725
Of fortune ſmooths the current, it expands
With unſuſpecting confidence, and deems
That gale ſhall always breath.
So to my eyes
All things now wear a formidable ſhape,
730
And threaten from the Gods: my ears are pierc'd
With ſounds far other than of ſong.
Such ills
Diſmay my ſick'ning ſoul:
hence from my houſe
735
Nor glitt'ring car attends me, nor the train
Of
THE PERSIANS.
wonted ſtate, whilſt I return, and bear
Libations ſoothing to the father's ſhade
In the ſon's cauſe;
740
delicious milk, that foams
White from the ſacred heifer:
liquid honey,
Extract of flow'rs;
and from its virgin fount r
745
The running chryſtal;
this pure draught, that
flow'd
From th' ancient vine, of pow'r to bath the ſpirits
In joy;
750
the yellow olive's fragrant fruit,
That glories in its leaves' unfading verdure;
With flow'rs of various hues, earth's faireſt offſpring,
Enwreath'd.
But you, my friends, amidſt theſe rites
755
Raiſe high your ſolemn warblings s
, and invoke
Your lord, divine Darius:
I meanwhile
Will pour theſe off'rings to th' infernal Gods.

Chi batte, amici, il tramite dei mali,
sa che gli uomini, allor che il flutto piomba
dei guai sovra essi, d'ogni cosa temono:
se fausto il Nume poi spira, confidano
che soffi sempre il vento di fortuna.
685
Di terrore per me tutto ora è colmo.
Dinanzi agli occhi, degli avversi Numi
veggo l'opre: alle orecchie un canto suona,
che non è di trionfo.
Oh!, qual tumulto
690
di guai sgomenta il cuore!
Or, senza cocchi,
senza il fasto di pria, lasciai la reggia;
e batto ancora questa strada; e reco
libami al padre di mio figlio, quali
695
placan gli estinti: di giovenca pura
bianco latte soave; e il succo d'api
suggitrici di fiori, il miele fulgido;
e di vergini fonti umide aspergini;
e, pretto umore di selvaggia madre,
700
questo fulgor d'annosa vite;
e, dolce
fragrante, il frutto della oliva bionda
che rigoglio perenne ha tra le frondi;
e fiori, figli dell'altrice terra,
705
intrecciati in ghirlande.
Amici, or voi
l'inno intonate che propizi questa
libagïon dei morti; e Dario, il Dèmone
fausto invocate: questi onori agli Inferi,
710
che li sugga la terra, io verserò.

Friends, whosoe'er is versed in human ills,
615
Knoweth right well that when a wave of woe
Comes on a man, he sees in all things fear;
While, in flood-tide of fortune, 'tis his mood
To take that fortune as unchangeable,
Wafting him ever forward. Mark me now—
620
The gods' thwart purpose doth confront mine eyes,
And all is terror to me; in mine ears
There sounds a cry, but not of triumph now—
So am I scared at heart by woe so great.
Therefore I wend forth from the house anew,
625
Borne in no car of state, nor robed in pride
As heretofore, but bringing, for the sire
Who did beget my son, libations meet
For holy rites that shall appease the dead—
The sweet white milk, drawn from a spotless cow,
630
The oozing drop of golden honey, culled
By the flower-haunting bee, and therewithal
Pure draughts of water from a virgin spring;
And lo! besides, the stainless effluence,
Born of the wild vine's bosom, shining store
635
Treasured to age, this bright and luscious wine.
And eke the fragrant fruit upon the bough
Of the grey olive-tree, which lives its life
In sprouting leafage, and the twining flowers,
Bright children of the earth's fertility.
640
But you, O friends! above these offerings poured
To reconcile the dead, ring out your dirge
To summon up Darius from the shades,
Himself a shade; and I will pour these draughts,
Which earth shall drink, unto the gods of hell.

O Freunde, wer im Leide vielerfahren ist,
580
Der weiß es, wie den Menschen, wann der Wogensturm
Des Leids hereinbrach, Alles Furcht zu wecken pflegt,
Und daß sie hoffen, wenn der Hauch des Glückes weht,
Derselbe Fahrwind wehe bis zum Ziele fort.
Auch mir erscheint jetzt Alles voll von Schrecknissen;
585
Mein Auge sieht der Götter Strafgerichte droh'n;
Laut gellt's in meinen Ohren nicht wie Siegeshall.
So hat des Leids Entsezen mich mit Angst betäubt.
Drum kam ich dieses Weges ohne Wagenschmuck,
Des alten Prunks entledigt, vom Palast zurück,
590
Dem Vater meines Sohnes frommen Opfertrank
Zu spenden, der die Todten mild besänftiget:
Von unberührter Stärke weiß die Labemilch,
Den Thau der Blütenfreundin, hellen Honigseim,
Jungfräulichlautern Bornes frischgeschöpftes Naß,
595
Dann, wie dem wilden Mutterstock er einst entsprang,
Der alten Rebe goldnen unvermischten Trank,
Des gelben Delbaums düftereiche Frucht zugleich,
Der stets im Blätterschmucke grünt und Leben sproft,
Und reicher Erde Kinder hier, den Blumenkranz.
600
Wohlan, o Freunde, stimmet ihr ein frommes Lied
Zu meinem Todtenopfer an, und ruft empor
Dareios' Schatten; ich indessen spende dort
Der Unterwelt Gottheiten diesen Ehrentrank.
(Während des folgenden Gesanges begibt sich Atossa zu dem Grabmal des Dareios; die Dienerinnen folgen.)

Da aber dieser Gedanke bei der Ausführung von πάντα in unter- geordneter Weise gebracht wird ( βοᾷ δ᾽ κτέ.), so fällt der Gegen- satz zu πάντα μὲν weg. Vgl. 482 ff. ἐν ὄμμασίν τε: dem würde ἐν ὠσί τε entsprechen. Weil der Satz eine andere Wendung erhält, tritt d ὲ für τὲ ein.
