Come, my friend, own how boonless was the boon; say where is any aid? What relief can come from the creatures of a day? Sawest thou not the powerless weakness, nought better than a dream, in which the blind race of men is entangled? Never shall at any time the schemes of mortals evade the harmonious system of Jupiter.

Vain thy ardor, vain thy grace,
They nor force nor aid repay;
Like a dream man's feeble race,
Shortliv'd reptiles of a day.
Shall their weak devices move
560
Th' order'd harmony of Jove?
Touch'd with pity of thy pain,
All ſad and ſlow I pour the moral ſtrain;
Chang'd from that melting vein,
When the light mellifluous meaſure
565
Round thy bath, and round thy bed
For our ſeanymph ſiſter ſpread,
Awoke young love and bridal pleaſure,
And pour'd the ſoul of harmony,
To greet the bright Heſione.

Ecco quali mercedi
sono or compenso, amico, alle tue grazie.
Dove or trovi negli uomini
alcun sostegno, alcun soccorso? Vedi
640
la fiacca inettitudine,
simile ai sogni vani,
che, in ceppi, degli umani
stringe le cieche torme?
Non mai voler d'efimeri
645
potrà di Giove vïolar le norme.

What aid, 'gainst wrath of Heaven,
Could mortal man afford? in vain thy gift
590
To things so powerless!
Could'st thou not see? they are as dreams that drift;
Their strength is feebleness—
A purblind race, in hopeless fetters bound,
They have no craft or skill,
595
That could o'erreach the ordinance profound
Of the eternal will.

O wie fehlt für die Liebe die Liebe!
Wer, Theurer, kann dich retten
Von den Söhnen des Tags, wer steht dir bei? Du sah'st nicht,
Wie die nichtige Kraft der Unmacht,
Traumgestalten gleich, die Menschen,
545
Dieß blinde Geschlecht, in Bande verstrickt hält?
Nimmer vermag Zeus' ewigem Rath
Der Menschen Wille vorzugreifen.
Zweite Gegenstrophe.

526-560. Second Stasimon. The subject - praise of peace with Heaven and a tranquil life - is sug- gested by the words of the cory- phaeus 519 τί γὰρ πέπρωται Ζηνὶ πλὴν ἀεὶ κρατεῖν ; The dactylo-epitritic rhythm corresponds with this senti- ment, and 'affords, in the midst of the heat of tragic pathos, a moment of refreshing coolness and cheerful calm' (Westphal). ποτε ἀντίπαλον κράτος ποιοῖτο τῇ ἐμῇ γνώμῃ, ἀντὶ τοῦ μηδέποτε ἐναντίος μοι γένοιτο, Schol. – θεῖτο κράτος ἀντίπα- λον: see on 163.
