Intolerable creatures! is this, I ask you, best and salutary for our city, and an encouragement to this beleaguered force, for you to fall before the statues of our tutelary gods, to shriek, to yell—O ye abominations of the wise. Neither in woes nor in welcome prosperity may I be associated with woman-kind; for when woman prevails, her audacity is more than one can live with; and when she is affrighted, she is a still greater mischief to her home and city. Even now, having brought upon your countrymen this pell-mell flight, ye have, by your outcries, spread dastard cowardice, and ye are serving, as best ye may, the interests of those without, but we within our walls are suffering capture at our own hands;—such blessings will you have if you live along with women. Wherefore if any one give not ear to my authority, be it man or woman, or other between [these names
,] the fatal pebble shall decide against him, and by no means shall he escape the doom of stoning at the hand of the populace. For what passeth without is a man's concern, let not woman offer advice—but remaining within do thou occasion no mischief. Heard'st thou, or heard'st thou not, or am I speaking to a deaf woman?

The Seven Chiefs against Thebes (OCR draft) Experimental (The Seven Chiefs against Thebes. Robert Potter, 1779.) — 181 focus
It is not to be borne, ye wayward race: p
Is this your best, is this the aid you lend
The state, the fortitude with which you steel
190
The souls of the besieg'd, thus falling down
Before these images to wail, and shriek
With lamentations loud? Wisdom abhors you.
Nor in misfortune, nor in dear success,
Be woman my associate: if her pow'r
195
Bears sway, her insolence exceeds all bounds;
But if she fears, woe to that house and city.
And now, by holding counsel with weak fear,
You magnify the foe, and turn our men
To flight: thus are we ruin'd by ourselves.
200
This ever will arise from suffering women
To intermix with men.
But mark me well,
Whoe'er henceforth dares disobey my orders,
Be it or man or woman, old or young,
205
Vengeance shall burst upon him, the decree
Stands irreversible, and he shall die.
War is no female province, but the scene
For men: hence, home; nor spread your mischiefs here.
Hear you, or not? Or speak I to the deaf?

Insopportabil razza, a voi medesime
lo chiedo, utile è questo, è salutare
per
200
la città, potrà coraggio infondere
in chi combatte su le mura, urlare,
piagnucolar, prostrate ai simulacri
dei Numi della Patria? Odio dei saggi!
--
205
Mai nei malanni, mai nella fortuna
non m'abbia in casa la donnesca razza!
Impera, ella è protervia intollerabile:
teme, piú grave è il mal per la sua casa,
per la sua patria. - Ed or, tra i cittadini,
210
con lo scompiglio delle vostre fughe,
vociferate esanime viltà.
Cosí vantaggio immenso hanno i nemici;
e noi dai nostri fra le nostre mura
siam cosí posti a sacco. Ecco bel frutto
215
del conviver con donne. Ora, se alcuno
non ode il mio comando, o uomo o donna
o chiunque egli sia, pena di morte
sarà votata contro lui, dal popolo
lapidato sarà; né questa sorte
220
potrà sfuggire. Gli uomini al governo:
donna non dia consiglio! E tu rimani
in casa, e non far danno. Avete udito
o non avete udito? O parlo a sorde?

Wretched kindred!

Hark to my question, things detestable!
Is this aright and for the city's weal,
And helpful to our army thus beset,
That ye before the statues of our gods
145
Should fling yourselves, and scream and shriek your fears?
Immodest, uncontrolled! Be this my lot—
Never in troublous nor in peaceful days
To dwell with aught that wears a female form!
Where womankind has power, no man can house,
150
Where womankind feeds panic, ruin rules
Alike in house and city! Look you now—
Your flying feet, and rumour of your fears,
Have spread a soulless panic on our walls,
And they without do go from strength to strength,
155
And we within make breach upon ourselves!
Such fate it brings, to house with womankind.
Therefore if any shall resist my rule—
Or man, or woman, or some sexless thing—
The vote of sentence shall decide their doom,
160
And stones of execution, past escape,
Shall finish all. Let not a woman's voice
Be loud in council! for the things without,
A man must care; let women keep within—
Even then is mischief all too probable!
165
Hear ye? or speak I to unheeding ears?

Euch, Weiber, frag' ich, unerträgliches Gezücht,
Dient das zum Besten, schafft es Wohlgedeih'n der Stadt
Und Muth dem Kriegerheere, das der Feind umschloß,
165
So vor den Heimatgöttern hier in Staub gestürzt,
Zu schrei'n, zu jammern, ihr dem weisen Mann ein Graun?
Niemals im Unglück, noch im holden Schein des Glücks,
Sei ich in Einem Hause mit dem Frauenvolk!
Denn sind sie oben, ist ihr Troß nicht auszusteh'n;
170
Im Leide sind sie größres Leid für Haus und Stadt.
Und jetzt in wildverworr'ner Flucht euch dort und hier
Umtreibend, weckt ihr feige Furcht im Volk umher.
Dem Feinde draußen leistet ihr den besten Dienst,
Und wir vernichten drinnen uns durch eigne Schuld.
175
Das hat davon zum Lohne, wer mit Frauen lebt.
Doch wer sich frevelnd meinem Wort entgegenstellt,
Frau'n oder Männer oder wer es immer sei,
Gesprochen werde wider ihn der Todesspruch,
Der Steinigung des Volkes soll er nicht entgeh'n!
180
Dem Manne, nicht dem Weibe, liegt zu sorgen ob,
Was außen vorgeht: schade sie nur innen nicht!
Sprech' ich zu Tauben? Hört ihr oder hört ihr nicht?

ἀλλ᾽ οὖν θεοὺς αὐτοὺς ἁλούσης πόλεος ἐκλείπειν λόγος

λείπω τὸ κλεινὸν Ἴλιον βωμούς τ' ἐμούς. ἐρημία γὰρ πόλιν όταν λάβῃ κακή, νοσεῖ τὰ τῶν θεῶν, οὐδὲ τιμᾶσθαι θέλει.
Dixerunt de hac re interpretes ad Virg. Aen. II. 351. Rutgersius Var. lect. VI. 17. comparabat haec Senecae in Phoen. v. 633. favisse fac votis deos omnes luis: cessere et aversi fugam petiere.
