Shielding his ſubjects with a father's care,

Dario, simile ai Numi, invitto in guerra,

Ah glorious and goodly they were, the life and the lot that we gained,
The cities we held in our hand when the monarch invincible reigned,
The king that was good to his realm, sufficing, fulfilled of his sway,
A lord that was peer of the gods, the pride of the bygone day!

Götter, ein strahlendes Loos, ein geselliges,
Glückliches Leben im Staate beseligte
Dieses Volk, als der Greis,

Nimmerbestegt, im Land gebot, - Dareios!
