Wiſh not for death; nor bow beneath thy griefs;

Nor turn thy rage on Helen, as if ſhe
Had drench’d the fields with blood, as ſhe alone
Fatal to Greece had caus’d these dreadful ills.

Peace! pray not thou for death as though
1705
Thine heart was whelmed beneath this woe,
Nor turn thy wrath aside to ban
The name of Helen, nor recall
How she, one bane of many a man,
Sent down to death the Danaan lords,
1710
To sleep at Troy the sleep of swords,
And wrought the woe that shattered all.

O flehe doch nicht, durch Solches gebeugt,
Den Tod dir herbei,
Noch wende den Groll auf Helena's Haupt,
1415
Daß die Eine so viel von der Danaer Volk,
Die Vertilgerin, einst zu den Schatten entrafft,
Und unnennbaren Jammer bereitet!
