Pour ye forth a grievous all-lamentable, sad-re-sounding voice; for this daemon hath made a turn back upon me.
For our ship-fenced Mars, yielding the victory to others, hath reaped mischief from the Ionians, after laying waste the darkling surface of the main and the ill-fated shore.
I left them fallen in death out of a Tyrian ship on the shores of Salamis, striking on the rugged headland.
Alas for me! after having beheld ancient Athens the hateful, all in one shock of fight, ah! ah! ah! wretched, lie gasping on the ground.

gémissants, lugubres : le Destin désormais s'est tourné contre moi !
Las ! hélas ! crie et achève d'apprendre 4 . Où
donc est ce qui reste de la multitude des tiens ? Où sont tes lieutenants, Pharandakès, Sousas, Pélagôn, Dotamas et Agda-
batas, Psammis, Sousiskanès, qui naguère quittait Ecbatane 5 ?
où est ton Pharnoukos ? et le preux Ariomardos ? Où donc sire Seuakès ? Lilaios aux

Then bid them flow, bid the wild meaſures flow,
Hollow, unmuſical, the notes of grief;
They ſuit my fortune, and dejected ſtate.
Again the voice of wild deſpair
With ſhrilling ſhrieks ſhall pierce the air;
For high the God of War his flaming creſt
1155
Raiſ'd, with the fleet of Greece ſurrounded,
The haughty arms of Greece with conqueſt bleſt,
And Perſia's wither'd force confounded,
Daſh'd on the dreary beach her heroes ſlain,
Or whelm'd them in the darken'd main.
1160
Daſh'd from the Tyrian veſſel on the rocks
1170
Of Salamis they ſunk, and ſmear'd with gore
The heroes on the dreary ſtrand are ſtretch'd.
Wretch that I am!
Theſe on th' abhorred town
Ogygian Athens d
, roll'd their glowing eyes
Indignant;
THE PERSIANS.
Indignant;
1185
but at once in the fierce ſhock
Of battle fell, daſh'd breathleſs on the ground.

Sí, levate lamento funesto
1075
con clamore di lutto: ché il Dèmone
contro noi volge l'impeto infesto.
Da spalti di navi, sterminio,
il Marte di Ionia,
ne fece, che, agli Elleni fido.
la pianura del mar fra le tenebre
1085
radeva e l'infausto lido.
Quando io li lasciai, giú da un tirio
navile piombavano.
1095
Erravano verso le spiagge
Salamine dispersi: i cadaveri
sbatteano alle rupi selvagge.
Ahimè, ahi!, procombettero
tutti ad un colpo. A la vetusta Atene
odïosa, le palpebre
fisse, ahi miseri! guizzan su le arene.

Ay, launch the woeful sorrow's cry,
The harsh, discordant melody,
For lo, the power, we held for sure,
Hath turned to my discomfiture!
950
Alas, the god of war, who sways
The scales of fight in diverse ways,
Gives glory to Ionia!
Ionian ships, in fenced array,
960
Have reaped their harvest in the bay,
A darkling harvest-field of Fate,
A sea, a shore, of doom and hate!
I left them, mangled castaways,
Flung from their Tyrian deck, and tossed
975
On Salaminian water-ways,
From surging tides to rocky coast!
Alas, alas, they came, their eyes surveyed
Ancestral Athens on that fatal day.
Then with a rending struggle were they laid
Upon the land, and gasped their life away!

Hebt an wehklagenden Jammers
890
Dumpfhallenden Laut: denn es stürmte der Zorn
Des Geschickes auf mich!
Der Hellene vertilgt' euch,
Der hellenische Ares,
Anstürmend in Schiffen;
Er mähte die nächtliche Flur,

Das Gestade des Todes.
Todt ließ ich sie dort, sah
Aus dem tyrischen Schiffe
910
Sie stürzen am Strande
Von Salamis, sah sie zerschellt
An der zackigen Klippe.
Nach dem grauen Athen, dem verhaßten,
Den Blick gewendet, niedergeschmettert zumal,
Die Armen, ach!
Liegen sie zuckend am Ufer alle.
