Be of good cheer, maidens that have been nurtured by your mothers
. This city hath escaped the yoke of servitude; the vauntings of our mighty foes have fallen; and our city is calm, and hath not admitted a leak from the many buffets of the surge; our fortification too stands proof, and we have fenced our gates with champions fighting single-handed, and bringing surety;—for the most part, at six of our gates, it is well; but the seventh the revered lord of the seventh, sovereign Apollo, chose for himself, bringing to a consummation the ancient indiscretions of Laïus.

on a vu s'effondrer les vanteries de ces puissants guerriers ;
Thèbes jouit de l'embellie, avant d'avoir fait eau sous le choc innombrable des vagues. Ses remparts la protègent, et nous avions muni nos portes de champions aptes à les défendre. Dans l'ensemble, tout va bien à six portes ; mais
la septième, c'est l'auguste dieu Septime, sire Apollon, qui se l'est réservée, pour achever sur la race d'Œdipe le châtiment de Laïos et de ses erreurs anciennes.

Have comfort, virgins, your fond parents' joy;
The city hath eſcap'd the ſervile yoke,
895
And the proud vaunts of these impetuous men
Are fall'n: the ſtorm is ceas'd, and the rough waves,
That threaten'd to o'erwhelm us, are ſubſided.
Our tow'rs ſtand firm, each well-appointed chief
Guarded his charge with manly fortitude.
900
All at ſix gates is well: but at the ſeventh
The God, to whom that myſtic number's ſacred r
,
Royal Apollo, took his aweful ſtand,
Repaying on the race of Edipus
The ill-advis'd tranſgreſſion of old Laius.

Figlie di balde madri, or fate cuore!
Scampata è la città dal servil giogo.
880
La sonora iattanza è al suol piombata
dei guerrieri fortissimi. Il sereno
tornò su Tebe: i flutti non v'irruppero,
la protesser le torri;
ed eroi validi,
885
uomo contro uomo, le porte sbarrarono.
Felice fu l'evento per sei valichi :
sopra il settimo stette il Nume Apollo,
re venerando, che puní sui figli
d'Edípo i falli dell'antico Laio.

Wake heart, ye daughters whom your mothers' milk
Made milky-hearted! lo, our city stands,
Saved from the yoke of servitude: the vaunts
Of overweening men are silent now,
And the State sails beneath a sky serene,
800
Nor in the manifold and battering waves
Hath shipped a single surge, and solid stands
The rampart, and the gates are made secure,
Each with a single champion's trusty guard.
So in the main and at six gates we hold
805
A victory assured; but, at the seventh,
The god that on the seventh day was born,
Royal Apollo, hath ta'en up his rest
To wreak upon the sons of Oedipus
Their grandsire's wilfulness of long ago.

Getrost, o Jungfrau'n, ihr der Mütter süße Lust!
765
Dem Sklavenjoch entronnen ist die Theberstadt;
Zusammen sank der Feinde stolzer Troy in Nichts.
Auf stillem Meere schifft die Stadt, von grimmer Flut
Empörtem Wogenschlage drang kein Wasser ein.
Rings deckt die Mauer, und die Pforten wahrten wir
770
Mit Heldenkämpfern, wohlbewährt in mancher Schlacht.
Sechs Thore stehen unversehrt in bestem Stand;
Nur dort das siebte wählte sich der Siebenfürst,
Der hochgewalt'ge Phöbos, der an Oedipus'
Geschlechte Lajos' alten Fluch vollendete.
