Hear Zeus or not, I hear and know thee well,
Daughter of Inachus; I know thee driven,
Stung by the gadfly, mazed with agony.
Ay, thou art she whose beauty fired the breast
Of Zeus with passion; she whom Hera's hate
640
Now harasses o'er leagues and leagues of land.

Wie hört' ich nicht, die wilden Wahnsinns Stachel treibt,
Die Inachide, die Kronions Herz entflammt
In Lieb', und nun die endlos lange Bahn, verfolgt
Vom Hasse Hera's, ruhelos durchirren muß.
