This I learned by witnessing thy destructive fate, Prometheus. And far different is this strain that now flits towards me from that hymenaeal chant which I raised around the baths and thy couch with the consent
of nuptials, when, after having won Hesione with thy love-tokens, thou didst conduct her our sister to be thy bride, the sharer of thy bed.

E questo, Prometèo,
appresi nel veder tua sorte misera.
Oh!, ben diversi suonano
questo mio canto d'ora, e l'imeneo

che dal mio labbro al talamo
tuo si levò d'attorno
e ai tuoi lavacri, il giorno
che sposa alla tua casa

Alas, Prometheus! on thy woe condign
I looked, and learned this lore;
And a new strain floats to these lips of mine—
600
Not the glad song of yore,
When by the lustral wave I sang to see
My sister made thy bride,
Decked with thy gifts, thy loved Hesione,
And clasped unto thy side.

Ich erkannt' es an dir, o Prometheus,
An deinem schweren Leide.
550
O wie anders umschwebt mich dieses Lied, wie anders,
Als jener Gesang, der am Brautbad
Dir von uns erklang, am Brautbett,
Zu der festlichen Lust, da du meine Hesione,
Durch hochzeitliche Gaben verlockt,
555
Heimführtest in der Liebe Lager!
(Jo, die Tochter des Inachos, von Here in eine Kuh verwandelt, kommt heftig auf die Bühne gestürmt; die Hörner an ihrer Maske deuten ihre Ver- wandlung an.)

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.
