These things, indeed, I say that I beheld last night. But when I had arisen, and had touched with my hands a fair-streaming fountain 1
, I stood by the altar, wishing to offer a sacrificial cake to the divinities that avert evil, to whom these rites belong. And I behold an eagle fleeing to the altar of Phoebus; and from terror I stood speechless, my friends, and afterwards I see a falcon speeding onward in his course with his pinions, and tearing his head with his talons. And the eagle did nought but cower down and yield his body. These sights are terrible for me to behold, and for you to hear. For be ye well assured, my son, were he successful, would be a man worthy of admiration, and though he fail, he is not liable to be called to account by the state; but if he escape, will equally be sovereign of this realm 2
.
We wish not, O mother, either to terrify too much by our words, or to cheer thee; but do thou, if thou hast seen aught disastrous, approach the gods with supplications, and implore of them to grant it may be averted, but that what is favourable may be accomplished for thyself, and for thy children, and for the city, and for all thy friends. And in the second place it is proper that thou pour libations both to the earth and to the departed. And gently make thy prayer that thy husband Darius, whom thou sayest thou didst see by night, would send good things for thee and for thy child, into the light of day from beneath the earth: and that what is contrary to these, being detained beneath the earth, may fade away in gloom. This advice have I given thee with kindly intent, auguring by my mind's judgment. And, touching these things, we judge that in all things there will come to thee a favourable issue.

de la nuit. Mais je me lève, je trempe mes mains au cours d'une onde pure et, les chargeant d'offrandes, je m'approche de l'autel, pour y consacrer le gâteau rituel aux dieux préservateurs à qui est dû l'hom-
mage : et j'aperçois alors un aigle, qui fuit vers l'autel bas de Phoibos ! Muette d'effroi, je m'arrête, amis. Mais bientôt, sous mes yeux, un milan 1 fond du ciel, à grands coups d'ailes rapides et, de ses serres, se met à déchirer la tête de l'aigle, qui ne sait plus que se pelotonner sans
voulons, ô mère, ni trop t'effrayer ni trop te rassurer. Adresse-toi d'abord aux dieux en suppliante et, si tu as eu quelque vision fâcheuse, demande aux dieux d'en détourner de toi l'achèvement, pour réaliser au contraire ce qui doit servir et toi et tes enfants, et ton pays et tous les tiens. Il te faut ensuite ver-
ser des libations à la Terre et aux morts ; puis, du fond de l'âme, supplie Darios, l'époux que tu dis avoir vu cette nuit, de ne t'envoyer de la terre au jour que des joies pour toi et ton enfant ; le reste, de le retenir, aboli à jamais, dans l'ombre souterraine. Voilà ce que, prophète inspiré par le cœur, je te conseille, du fond de l'âme ; et nous estimons
que pareils présages se réaliseront de tout point au mieux.

The other with indignant fury ſpurn'd
The car, and daſh'd it piecemeal, rent the reins,

And tore the yoke aſunder: down my ſon
Fell from the ſeat, and inſtant at his ſide
His father ſtands, Darius, at his fall
Impreſs'd with pity: him when Xerxes ſaw,
Glowing with grief and ſhame he rends his robes.

This was the dreadful viſion of the night.
When I aroſe c

I bath'd my hands, and on the incens'd altars
Preſenting my oblations to the Gods
T' avert theſe ills, an eagle d
I behold
235
Fly to the Altar of the Sun: aghaft
I ſtood, my friends, and ſpeechleſs; when an
hawk
With eager ſpeed runs thither, furious cuffs
The eagle with his wings, and with his talons
240
Unplumes his head;
mean time th' imperial bird
Cow'rs to the blows defenceleſs.
Dreadful this
To me that ſaw it, and to you that hear.

With dazzling glory;
but ſhou'd fortune frown,
The ſtate indeed preſumes not to arraign
His ſovereignty, yet how, his honour loſt,

Ciò che ti dico, ho visto fra le tenebre.
Quando poi mi levai, quando ebbi terse
d'un fonte ne le belle acque le palme,
con le mie mani ad offerir libami
220
a un'ara m'appressai, per fare offerte
agli Dei, che lontani i mali tengano.
E un'aquila fuggir verso l'altare
di Febo veggo.
Pel terrore, amici,
225
muta rimango.
Ed ecco, con grande impeto
d'ali, piombare scorgo uno sparviere,
che con gli artigli il capo le dispiuma:
e quella, altro non fa che rannicchiarsi
230
e abbandonarsi.
Tali auspicî, e me
che vidi, e voi che udite sbigottiscono.
Ben lo sapete: se la sorte è fausta,
il figliuol mio sarà per tutti obietto
235
di meraviglia.
Ma se infausta... Ebbene
conto render non deve alla città.
Sia salvo, e Re sempre sarà di Persia.
Troppo, o madre, sbigottirti non vogliam coi detti nostri,
240
né che troppo imbaldanzisca.
Fa' che ai Superi ti prostri,
a implorar che spersi mandino da te lungi i tristi auspici,
ed i buoni per te avverino, pel tuo figlio, per gli amici
tutti quanti, e per la patria.
245
Versa quindi libamenti
alla terra ed ai defunti.
E rivolgi preci ardenti
allo sposo visto in sogno, che dai baratri del suolo
ogni bene ai rai del giorno per te mandi e pel figliuolo,
250
e sotterra il mal trattenga, fra le tenebre nascosto.
Questo a te consiglia l'animo mio, presago e al ben disposto.
E che l'esito a ogni modo seguirà prossimo io stimo.

Such was my vision of the night now past;
But when, arising, I had dipped my hand
In the fair lustral stream, I drew towards
The altar, in the act of sacrifice,
Having in mind to offer, as their due,
195
The sacred meal-cake to the averting powers,
Lords of the rite that banisheth ill dreams.
When lo! I saw an eagle fleeing fast
To Phoebus' shrine—O friends, I stayed my steps,
Too scared to speak! for, close upon his flight,
200
A little falcon dashed in winged pursuit,
Plucking with claws the eagle's head, while he
Could only crouch and cower and yield himself.
Scared was I by that sight, and eke to you
No less a terror must it be to hear!
205
For mark this well—if Xerxes have prevailed,
He shall come back the wonder of the world:
If not, still none can call him to account—
So he but live, he liveth Persia's King!
Queen, it stands not with my purpose to abet these fears of thine,
210
Nor to speak with glozing comfort! nay, betake thee to the shrine!
If thy dream foretold disaster, sue to gods to bar its way,
And, for thyself, son, state, and friends, to bring fair fate to-day!
Next, unto Earth and to the Dead be due libation poured,
And by thee let Darius' soul be wistfully implored—
215
I saw thee, lord, in last night's dream, a phantom from the grave,
I pray thee, lord, from earth beneath come forth to help and save!
To me and to thy son send up the bliss of triumph now,
And hold the gloomy fates of ill, dim in the dark below!
Such be thy words! my inner heart good tidings doth foretell,
220
And that fair fate will spring thereof, if wisdom guide us well.

Dies Traumgebilde sah ich dir in jüngster Nacht.
Dann als ich aufstand und die Hand mit lautrer Flut
Des Quells befeuchtet, trat ich sammt der Priesterschaar
Mit Opferkuchen für die fluchabwehrenden
Gottheiten zum Altare, wie's der Brauch gebeut.
190
Und einen Adler seh' ich auf des Phöbos Herd
Sich flüchten: - lautlos, Freunde, stand ich da vor Angst : -
Dann sah ich einen Falken, der in raschem Flug
Auf ihn heranstürmt und mit scharfen Klau'n sein Haupt
Zerrauft. Der Adler duckte sich nur scheu, und gab
195
Den Rücken preis. Ein Grausen war mir das zu seh'n,
Wie euch zu hören. Denn ihr wisset wohl: gewinnt
Mein Sohn den Sieg, preist ihn bewundernd alle Welt;
Wo nicht, so gibt er keine Rechenschaft dem Volk,
Und wohlbehalten ist er hier wie früher Herr.
200
Weder allzusehr beängsten, Mutter, soll dich unser Wort,
Noch dich allzusicher machen. An die Götter wende dich,
Flehe, daß sie's gnädig wehren, wenn du Grauenvolles sahst,
Und das Gute nur gewährend, segnen dich und deinen Sohn
Und das Reich und alle Treuen. Spende dann Trankopfer auch
205
Für das Erdreich und die Todten; flehe, daß mit holdem Sinn
Dein Gemahl Dareios, der dir, sagst du, Nachts im Traum erschien,
Gutes aus der Erde Tiefen sende dir und deinem Sohn,
Doch das Leid in Dunkel hülle, tiefgebannt im Erdenschooß!
So mit ahnungsvollem Geiste rath' ich treuergeben dir;
210
Doch vertrau'n wir, daß ein Gott dies Alles wohl zum Ziele lenkt.

ἔμοιγε ... ὑμῖν δὲ, 168.
