O ye cities of the whole land of Asia! O realm of Persia, and mighty haven of opulence, how hath the ample weal been demolished by a single stroke, and the flower of the Persians is fallen and gone. Woe's me, 'tis an ill office to be the first messenger of ill, but yet it is necessary to unfold the whole of the disaster of the Persians, for all the army of the barbarians hath perished.
Dismal, dismal, strange evils, and adverse,-alas. Drench yourselves in tears, ye Persians, hearing of this sorrow.
How has all that armament gone to ruin! But I myself, beyond my hope, behold the day of my return.
Verily this life of ours appears too long protracted to us aged men, that we should hear of this unlooked-for calamity.
And in very deed I, being on the spot, and not having heard reports from others 1
, can tell how great ills have been dealt out to the Persians.
Woe! woe! in vain did the multitude of shafts of every kind go from the land of Asia, against a hostile land, the realm of Hellas.
The shores of Salamis, and all the adjoining region, are full of the corpses of those who miserably perished.
Woe! woe! thou tellest us that the dead bodies of our friends, tossed on the billow, oft immersed, are borne along on the twice-changing surface of the tide 2
.
Yes, for our bows availed us nought, and our whole host perished, beaten down by the collision of the beaks of the vessels.
Shriek forth a doleful outcry, full of woe to the wretched Persians; for ill did they succeed in all things, alas! when their host was destroyed.
O name of Salamis, most hateful to our ears. Alas! how I sigh when I remember Athens.
Hateful is Athens to us miserable: we have to remember, in sooth, how many of the Persian matrons it has made widows and bereft of their husbands to no gain 1
of ours!
I, wretched, have for a long time kept silence, utterly astounded by the evils: for this calamity is too great for me to speak, or to enquire about our sufferings. Nevertheless, it is necessary for mortals to endure afflictions, when the gods award them : and do thou compose thyself and tell us, unfolding the whole of our suffering, even though thou sigh est over the evils: who is there that hath not fallen? and whom of the leaders of the host shall we bewail, who, having been appointed to a sceptred office, by his death left his file desolate without their chief?

O cités de l'Asie entière, ô terre de
Perse, havre de richesse infinie, voici donc, d'un seul coup, anéanti un immense bonheur, abattue et détruite la fleur de la Perse ! — Hélas ! c'est un malheur déjà que d'annoncer le premier un malheur. Et pourtant il me faut déployer
devant vous toute notre misère, Perses : l'armée
barbare tout entière a péri !
à l'annonce de telle douleur.
moi-même, c'est contre tout espoir que je vois le soleil du retour.
aujourd'hui trop longue, l'existence qui laisse les vieillards que nous sommes ouïr
ce coup inattendu !
ô Perses, quels maux vous ont été préparés là-bas.
rien qu'ensemble des milliers d'armes de toute espèce ont passé du
pays d'Asie sur une terre ennemie, sur le sol de Grèce !
heure le rivage de Salamine et tous ses alentours.
j'aime roulés du flot, où sans cesse ils replongent, corps sans vie emportés dans leurs larges saies errantes !
était impuissant, et toute notre armée succombait écrasée sous le choc des trières.
Clame sur notre misère une plainte
désolée, lugubre. Les dieux ont tout fait pour que tous les maux s'abattent sur les Perses. Hélas ! hélas ! sur notre armée anéantie !
Ah ! quels sanglots me coûte le souvenir d'Athènes !

O voi, città dell'Asia tutte, o terra
di Persia, porto di ricchezza immenso,
come ad un colpo solo andò distrutta
280
la gran felicità, come dei Persi
cade il fiore e si perde!
Ahimè! Che male
è mirar primo i mali! E pure, è forza
che intiero il danno, o Persi, io sveli.
285
Tutto distrutto fu dei barbari l'esercito !
Ahimè, miseri miseri,
mali novelli e immani!
Sgorghin le vostre lagrime
all'udir tanto strazio, o Persïani!
290
Tutto in rovina è andato.
Del ritorno contro ogni speme anch'io veduto ho il giorno.
Ahimè! Del nostro vivere
troppo son lunghi gli anni,
quando, o vegliardi, simili
295
udir dobbiamo inopinati affanni.
Vi narrerò, né per veduta altrui,
ciò che patimmo: ivi presente fui.
Indarno, indarno, ahimè,
delle commiste frecce il fitto stuolo
300
dalle contrade d'Asia
all'inimico mosse elleno suolo!
Piene le spiagge son di Salamina
di tristi spoglie, e ogni terra vicina.
Che dici? Ahimè, ahimè!
305
Senza piú vita i corpi erran dei Persi,
nel turbinio del pelago,
fra cozzo alterno di marosi immersi!
Gli archi nulla giovâr:
l'urto dei rostri tutti quanti distrusse i legni nostri.
310
Leva angoscioso un gemito
sui Persïani, un ululo di lutto.
Oh derelitti! Ahi sorte in tutto misera!
Oh esercito distrutto!
Oh Salamina, esoso nome!
Oh!, quanto d'Atene al sovvenir mi sciolgo in pianto!
Atene, oh! come t'odia
330
chi t'è avverso!
Il ricordo andrà lontano
di quante donne persïane furono
e spose e madri invano.
Artèmbare sbatté, di diecimila
335
cavalli duce, alle Silenie rupi:
e Dadàce, di mille, un salto a vuoto
spiccò dal bordo, d'una lancia all'urto.
Tenagone, che il primo era dei figli
di Battrïana, l'isola d'Aiace
340
flagellata dai flutti, abita.
Arsame,
Lilaio, e terzo, Argeste, intorno all'isola
di colombi nutrice, all'aspra cozzano
spiaggia coi comni, spenti.
345
Artèo, finitimo
del Nilo egizio ai fonti, Adève, e terzo
il clipeato Fàrnuco, piombarono
da un legno sol.
Criseo Matallo, capo
350
di trentamila cavalieri negri,
bagnò la rossa fitta ombrosa barba,
color mutando entro purpureo bagno.
L'arabo Mago, il battrio Artame, giacquero,
nuovi meteci, in quella terra dura.
355
Ed Amistri e Anfistrèo, che la terribile
lancia vibrava, e Arïomarde il buono
che lutto a Sardi ora procaccia, e Sísamo
misio, e Taribi che guidava navi
cinque volte cinquanta, e nacque a Lirna,
360
fulgido eroe, giace ora spento, misero,
ché non gli arrise la ventura.
E Sínnesi
re dei Cilici, il primo fra i magnanimi,
cruccio, ei da solo, agl'inimici, grande,
365
morte ebbe e gloria.
Io questi sol rammemoro
dei condottieri. Ma ben pochi sono
questi che annuncio, dei malanni molti.

O walls and towers of all the Asian realm,
245
O Persian land, O treasure-house of gold!
How, by one stroke, down to destruction, down,
Hath sunk our pride, and all the flower of war
That once was Persia's, lieth in the dust!
Woe on the man who first announceth woe—
250
Yet must I all the tale of death unroll!
Hark to me, Persians! Persia's host lies low.
O ruin manifold, and woe, and fear!
Let the wild tears run down, for the great doom is here!
This blow hath fallen, to the utterance,
255
And I, past hope, behold my safe return!
Too long, alack, too long this life of mine,
That in mine age I see this sudden woe condign!
As one who saw, by no loose rumour led,
Lords, I would tell what doom was dealt to us.
260
Alack, how vainly have they striven!
Our myriad hordes with shaft and bow
Went from the Eastland, to lay low
Hellas, beloved of Heaven!
Piled with men dead, yea, miserably slain,
265
Is every beach, each reef of Salamis!
Thou sayest sooth—ah well-a-day!
Battered amid the waves, and torn,
On surges hither, thither, borne,
Dead bodies, bloodstained and forlorn,
270
In their long cloaks they toss and stray!
Their bows availed not! all have perished, all,
By charging galleys crushed and whelmed in death.
Shriek out your sorrow's wistful wail!
To their untimely doom they went;
275
Ill strove they, and to no avail,
And minished is their armament!
Out on thee, hateful name of Salamis,
Out upon Athens, mournful memory!
Woe upon this day's evil fame!
280
Thou, Athens, art our murderess;
Alack, full many a Persian dame
Is left forlorn and husbandless!
Mute have I been awhile, and overwrought
At this great sorrow, for it passeth speech,
285
And passeth all desire to ask of it.
Yet if the gods send evils, men must bear.
( To the Messenger)
Unroll the record! stand composed and tell,
Although thy heart be groaning inwardly,
290
Who hath escaped, and, of our leaders, whom
Have we to weep? what chieftains in the van
Stood, sank, and died and left us leaderless?

Weh euch, des ganzen Asia's Burgfesten ihr,
235
Weh, Perserland, des stolzen Reichthums weiter Port !
Wie ist in Einem Schlage doch das große Glück
Vernichtet; Persis' Blüte welkt dahingestürzt!
Fluchvolles Amt, des Fluches erster Bote sein!
Und doch - die Noth will, daß ich euch das ganze Leid
240
Enthülle, Perser: ganz vertilgt ist euer Heer!
Traurig, o traurig, unerhört grimmig Leid!
O weint, Perser, weint über die schwere Kunde!
Wie fand doch Alles, Alles dort den Untergang!
Den Tag der Heimkehr schau' ich selber unverhofft.
245
Wahrlich zu lange währte dies Leben mir,
Um solch niegeahnt Leiden, ein Greis, zu hören!
Und als ein Augenzeuge, nicht aus Andrer Mund
Verkünd' ich euch, o Perser, was uns Schweres traf.
Wehe! Vergeblich, daß
250
So viel Geschosse buntgedrängt
Stolz aus Asia's Neich sich stürzten
Auf dich, göttliche Hellas!
Bedeckt mit Leichen kläglich Hingemordeter
Sind Salamis' Felsufer und die Gau'n umher.
255
Wehe! Gestürzt in's Meer,
Ein Spiel der Wogen, blutgefärbt,
Treiben, sagst du, der Freunde Leichen
Todt auf Trümmern der Schiffe?
Nicht schüste Pfeil und Bogen; nein, das ganze Heer
260
Erlag, bewältigt in der Schiffe wildem Kampf.
Hebt über euch Unselige
Des Weh's angstvollen Ruf!
Denn, ach! Leid häuften uns auf Leid
Durch des Heers Untergang die Götter!
265
O Salamis, o Name, tiefverhaft dem Ohr!
Weh dir, mit welchem Jammer denk' ich dein, Athen !
Wohl ist Athen der Feinde Fluch!
Und allzeit denk' ich sein,
Das so viel Perserfrauen, voll
270
Blinder Wuth, Söhne, Gatten raubte.
Schon lange schweig' ich Arme, durch das schwere Leid
Betäubt: so ungeheuer ist das Mißgeschick,
Und drängt zurück die Rede, hemmt der Frage Lauf.
Doch muß der Mensch die Schmerzen, die der Götter Rath
275
Verhängt, ertragen. Ganz enthülle, denn das Leid,
Und ob das Herz auch seufze, dennoch sprich gefaßt:
Wer blieb am Leben? Welchen Fürsten müssen wir
Betrauern? Wer mit hohem Feldherrnstabe fiel,
Und ließ die führerlose Schaar verwaist zurück?
