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.
Therefore a work has been accomplished by him 2
exceedingly great, ever to be had in remembrance, such as never at any time utterly drained this falling city of Susa, ever since sovereign Jove awarded this honour, that one man should sway the whole of flock-breeding Asia, wielding the sceptre of rule. For a Mede 3
was the first commander of the host; and another 4
, his son, completed this work; for prudence managed the helm of his soul. And third from him Cyrus, a prosperous man, when he reigned gave peace to all his friends; and acquired the people of the Lydians and

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.
910
Great deeds have they atchiev'd, and memorable
For ages: Never hath this waſted ſtate
Suffer'd ſuch ruin, ſince Heav'n's aweful king
925
Gave to one lord Aſia's extended plains
White with innumerous flocks, and to his hands
Conſign'd th' imperial ſceptre.
Her brave hoſts
A Mede firſt led y
. The virtues of his ſon
930
Fix'd firm the empire, for his temperate ſoul
Breath'd prudence.
Cyrus next, by fortune grac'd,
Adorn'd the throne, and bleſs'd his grateful friends
With peace: He to his mighty monarchy
935
Join'd Lydia, and the Phrygians; to his pow'r
Ionia bent reluctant; but the Gods
With victory his gentle virtues crown'd.
His ſon then wore the regal diadem.
Next, to diſgrace his country, and to ſtain
940
The ſplendid glories of this ancient throne,
Roſe Mardus: him with righteous vengeance fir'd
Artaphrenes, and his confederate chiefs,
Cruſh'd in his palace:
Maraphis aſſum'd
945
The ſceptre:
after him Artaphrenes.
Me next to this exalted eminence,
Crowning my great ambition, fortune rais'd;
In many' a glorious field my glittering ſpear
950
Flamed in the van of Perſia's numerous hoſts;
But never wrought ſuch ruin to the ſtate.
Xerxes, my ſon, in all the pride of youth
Liſtens to youthful counſels, my commands
No more remember'd:
955
hence, my hoary friends,
Not the whole line of Perſia's ſceptred lords,
You know it well, ſo waſted her brave ſons.

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!
E un'impresa compiuta egli ha grandissima,
memorabil mai sempre, e che, piombando
860
su la città di Susa, la vuotò
come niuna altra mai, da quando Giove
concesse a un uomo questo onor, ch'ei solo
con lo scettro regal tutta guidasse
l'Asia di greggi altrice.
865
Il primo duce
delle genti fu Medo.
Il figliuol suo
compie' secondo questo ufficio: e senno
reggea la barra del suo cuore.
870
Terzo
Ciro beato, che agli amici tutti
largí pace, regnando, e il popol Frigio
e il Lidio conquistò, la Ionia tutta
con la forza cacciò: ché senno aveva,
875
né l'odïava il Nume.
Quarto Ciro
diresse poi le genti;
e Mardo, quinto,
onta alla patria ed agli aviti seggi.
880
Con un inganno lui nella sua reggia
spense Artaferne il buono e i suoi compagni
nella congiura. Fu Marafi sesto,
e settimo Artaferne.
lo poi, la sorte
885
a cui miravo ottenni, e molte gesta
compiei con grandi schiere. Oh! ma non mai
in tal rovina la città disfeci.
Ma Serse, il figlio mio giovane, pensa
giovanilmente, ed i consigli miei
890
non ricorda.
Poiché voi ben sapete,
vecchi compagni miei: di quanti avemmo
questo regio poter, nessuno reo
potrà sembrare mai di simil danno!

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!
Therefore through them hath come calamity
Most huge and past forgetting; nor of old
Did ever such extermination fall
775
Upon the city Susa. Long ago
Zeus in his power this privilege bestowed,
That with a guiding sceptre one sole man
Should rule this Asian land of flock and herd.
Over the folk a Mede, Astyages,
780
Did grasp the power: then Cyaxares ruled
In his sire's place, and held the sway aright,
Steering his state with watchful wariness.
Third in succession, Cyrus, blest of Heaven,
Held rule and 'stablished peace for all his clan:
785
Lydian and Phrygian won he to his sway,
And wide Ionia to his yoke constrained,
For the god favoured his discretion sage.
Fourth in the dynasty was Cyrus' son,
And fifth was Mardus, scandal of his land
790
And ancient lineage. Him Artaphrenes,
Hardy of heart, within his palace slew,
Aided by loyal plotters, set for this.
And I too gained the lot for which I craved,
And oftentimes led out a goodly host,
795
Yet never brought disaster such as this
Upon the city. But my son is young
And reckless in his youth, and heedeth not
The warnings of my mouth. Mark this, my friends,
Born with my birth, coeval with mine age—
800
Not all we kings who held successive rule
Have wrought, combined, such ruin as my son!

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.
So wurde denn das ungeheure Werk von ihm
Volführt, das ewiggrause, wie kein anderes
Zerstörend Susa's Veste noch verödete,
735
Seit Zeus, der Herrscher, dieses Amt verordnet hat,
Daß über Asis' ganzes heerdenreiches Land
Ein Mann gebietend walte mit des Rechtes Stab.
Ein Meder war des Volkes erster Heeresfürst:
Sein Sohn nach ihm vollführte dieses große Werk;
740
Denn heller Sinn war seines Geistes Steuermann.
Als dritter folgte Kyros ihm, des Glückes Sohn,
Der seinen Völkern allzumal den Frieden gab.
Der Lyder Land gewann er und der Phryger Volk,
Und unterjochte mit Gewalt ganz Jonia.
745
Denn weil er klug war, zürnten ihm die Götter nicht.
Als vierter herrschte Kyros' Sohn in Persis' Volk.
Der fünfte Fürst war Merdis, eine Schmach dem Land
Und seinem alten Throne, den mit arger List
Der edle Artaphernes im Palast erschlug
750
Mit treuen Männern, denen das die Pflicht gebot.
Als sechster herrschte Maraphis, dann Artaphern.
Auch ich gewann das Erbe, das ich mir gewünscht,
Und viele Kämpfe focht ich aus mit vielem Volk;
Doch lud ich solches Wehe nicht auf dieses Land.
755
Mein Xerxes, jung an Jahren, denkt noch jugendlich,
Bewahrte nicht im Herzen, was ich ihm gebot.
Denn, Freunde meiner Jugend, euch ist wohlbekannt,
Daß alle wir, die dieses Reiches Macht gelenkt,
Dem Volke solchen Jammer nicht bereiteten.
