O ye gods! we surely enjoyed a noble and goodly life, under civic rule, when the aged monarch, aider of all, author of no ill, not given to war, godlike Darius ruled the realm.
In the first place we were celebrated on account of our well-approved army, and the laws of the state directed all things 2
. And our returns too from our wars brought us without trouble, without suffering, in flourishing condition to our homes.
And what a number of cities did he take without having crossed the river Halys, nor having sped forth from his home; such are the Acheloian cities on the Strymonian sea, adjoining the dwellings of the Thracians,
and beyond the sea, those along the main land environed with fortresses obeyed this king, and those who boast 3
to dwell on both sides of the broad frith of Helle, and the gulfy Propontis, and the outlet of the Pontus:
the sea-girt islands too, near the marine promontory, lying hard by this land, Lesbos, for instance, and olive-planted Samos, Chios, and Paros, Myconus, and Andros touching in close neighbourhood upon Tenos.

villes, quand le vieux roi, le tout-puissant, le bienfai-
des armées à la gloire sans tache ; elles ne dirigeaient contre l'ennemi que l'art
coutumier des sièges 1 ; et des retours sans peine ni dommage ramenaient nos guerriers à leurs foyers heureux.

Que de cités il a prises sans franchir le cours de l'Halys 2 , sans même quitter sa demeure ! telles les villes fluviales du
lac strymonien 3 ,
qui confinent aux bourgades thraces.
Et, en dehors de ce lac, celles qui, sur la terre ferme, portent ceinture de remparts ont obéi aussi à ce monarque.
Et les cités fièrement assises sur les bords du large détroit d'Hellé ; et le repli profond de la Propontide,
et les bouches du Pont !

Et les îles baignées du flot, qui, groupées autour d'un cap marin, s'attachent à notre sol d'Asie, telles Lesbos, Samos, qui
nourrit l'olivier, Chios ; et aussi Paros, Naxos, Mycônos ; Andros enfin, voisine attachée à Ténos !

Ye pow'rs that rule the ſkies,
1050
Memory recalls our great, our happy fate,
Our well-appointed ſtate,
The ſcenes of glory opening to our eyes,
When this vaſt empire o'er
The good Darius, with each virtue bleſt
1055
That forms a monarch's breaſt,
Shielding his ſubjects with a father's care,
Invincible in war,
Extended like a God his aweful pow'r.
Then ſpread our arms their glory wide,
1060
Guarding to peace her golden reign;
Each tow'red city ſaw with pride
Safe from the toils of war her homeward-march-
ing train.

Nor Halys' ſhallow ſtrand

He ſpoke; his word was Fate :
What ſtrong-baſed cities cou'd his might withſtand?
Not thoſe that lift their heads
Where to the ſea the floods of Strymon paſs,
1070
Leaving the huts of Thrace;
THE PERSIANS.
Nor thoſe, that far th' extended ocean o'er
Stand girt with many' a tow'r;
Nor where the Helleſpont his broad wave ſpreads;
Nor the firm baſtions' rampir'd might,
1075
Whoſe foot the deep Propontis laves;
Nor thoſe, that glorying in their height
Frown o'er the Pontic ſea, and ſhade his darken'd
waves,

Bow'd to this monarch:
humbled Leſbos bow'd;

Naxos with vines, with olives Samos crown'd:
Him Myconus ador'd:

La nostra vita, ahimè,
ebbe ministri l'opulenza e l'ordine,
quando l'antico Re,
990
scevro d'ogni nequizia, a tutti provvido,
Dario, simile ai Numi, invitto in guerra,
reggea la nostra terra.
Leggi solide come
torri, tutto reggean: v'erano eserciti
995
di glorioso nome;
e dalle guerre, senza danno o cruccio,
ci radduceva fra le patrie mura
la prospera ventura.
E quante città prese,
1000
senza varcare i margini
dell'Ali, senza muovere
lungi dal suo paese,
come le fluviatili
allo Strimonio intorno,
1005
presso le coste inospiti
dove i Traci han soggiorno.
E quelle che, lontano
dal mare, in terra surgono,
cinte di torri, omaggio
1010
prestarono al Sovrano;
e quante d'Elle al valico
han glorïosa voce,
e la curva Propontide,
e del Ponto la foce.
1015
E l'isole che cingono
i promontori delle nostre rive,
e i flutti le flagellano,
come Lesbo, d'ulive
ferace, e Samo e Paro
1020
e Chio, Nasso, Micòno,
ed Andro, e la finitima
Teno, che unite sono.

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!
885
Then could we show to the skies great hosts and a glorious name,
And laws that were stable in might; as towers they guarded our fame!
There without woe or disaster we came from the foe and the fight,
In triumph, enriched with the spoil, to the land and the city's delight.
What towns ere the Halys he passed! what towns ere he came to the West,
890
To the main and the isles of the Strymon, and the Thracian region possess'd!
And those that stand back from the main, enringed by their fortified wall,
Gave o'er to Darius, the king, the sceptre and sway over all!
Those too by the channel of Helle, where southward it broadens and glides,
By the inlets, Propontis! of thee, and the strait of the Pontic tides,
895
And the isles that lie fronting our sea-board, and the Eastland looks on each one,
Lesbos and Chios and Paros, and Samos with olive-trees grown,
And Naxos, and Myconos' rock, and Tenos with Andros hard by,

Götter, ein strahlendes Loos, ein geselliges,
Glückliches Leben im Staate beseligte
Dieses Volk, als der Greis,
Allengenügend und mild, den Unsterblichen gleich,
Nimmerbestegt, im Land gebot, - Dareios!

Erste Gegenstrophe.
Groß in der Schlacht und verherrlicht im Ruhme des
Heeres, verwalteten wir in des heiligen
Rechtes Hut Stadt und Land.
Aus dem Gewühle der Schlachten in harmlosem Glück
Führte des Sieges Arm die Kämpfer heimwärts.

Zweite Strophe.
Wie viel Städte gewann er, und wandelte nicht durch die. Furthen des Halys,
Noch verließ er Susa's Herd!
Auch die längs dem strymonischen Meer, von den Wogen umspült, sich erheben,
Thrake's Thälern nahe,

Und die, ferne der See, sich im Schooße des Land's mit der Mauer umgürtet,
