Now indeed thou adjudgest me to endure banishment from the city, and the abhorrence of the citizens, and public execrations,—thou that didst formerly bring nothing against this man, who, making no account of her fate, as it were of a brute, while sheep abounded in fleecy folds, immolated his own daughter, the dearest to me of my child-birth pangs, as a charm for the Thracian blasts. Shouldst thou not have banished that person out of this land, in retribution for his foul deeds? but now that thou hearest of my deeds, thou art a stern judge. But this I tell thee—Menace me as knowing that I am prepared on equal terms,—that when thou hast got the victory with thy hand, thou mayest rule me 3 ;—but if God bring the contrary to pass, thou shalt, though late, be taught to know discretion.

And doſt thou now denounce upon my head
1590
Vengeance, and hate, and exile? 'Gainſt this man
Urging no charge?
Yet he without remorſe,
As if a lamb that wanton'd in his pastures
Were doom’d to bleed, cou’d ſacrifice his daughter,
1595
For whoſe dear ſake I felt a mother’s pains,
T' appeaſe the winds of Thrace.
Shou'd not thy voice
Adjudge this man to exile, in juſt vengeance
For ſuch unholy deeds?
1600
Scarce hast thou heard
What I have done, but ſentence is pronounc’d,
And that with rigor too.
But mark me well,
I boldly tell thee that I bear a ſoul
1605
Prepar’d for either fortune: if thy hand
Be ſtronger, uſe thy pow’r: but if the Gods
Proſper my cauſe, be thou aſſur’d, old man,
Thou ſhalt be taught a leſſon of diſcretion.

Ora per me sentenzi il bando, e ch' io
son l' abominio degli Argivi, e il popolo
1645
mi maledice: e non rinfacci nulla
a quest'uomo, che piú non valutò
d'una pecora, quando nelle greggi
opulente di lana i capi abbondano,
la figlia sua, la figlia dilettissima

della mia doglia, e la sgozzò, perché
placasse i venti della Tracia.

O ye just men, who speak my sentence now,
The city's hate, the ban of all my realm!
Ye had no voice of old to launch such doom
On him, my husband, when he held as light
My daughter's life as that of sheep or goat,
1640
One victim from the thronging fleecy fold!
Yea, slew in sacrifice his child and mine,
The well-loved issue of my travail-pangs,
To lull and lay the gales that blew from Thrace.
That deed of his I say, that stain and shame,
1645
Had rightly been atoned by banishment;
But ye, who then were dumb, are stern to judge
This deed of mine that doth affront your ears.
Storm out your threats, yet knowing this for sooth,
That I am ready, if your hand prevail
1650
As mine now doth, to bow beneath your sway:
If God say nay, it shall be yours to learn
By chastisement a late humility.

Nun sprichst du mir mein Urthel, Flucht aus Argos' Stadt,
Rufst über mich des Volkes Haß und Fluch herab,
Und wälzest keine, keine Schuld auf diesen Mann,
Der unbedenklich mordend, gleich als wär's ein Lamm,
1365
Wie wollenreicher Heerden Zucht ihm viele bot,
Das eigne Kind geopfert, ach mein liebstes Kind,
Die wilden Stürme Thrakia's zu bändigen!
Und mußtest du nicht diesen aus dem Lande hier
Zum Lohn des Gräuls verbannen? Nur von meiner That
1370
Vernehmend, übst du strenges Recht. Ich sage dir :
Du magst mir immer also droh'n, ich bin bereit,
Mich dir zu beugen, wenn mich deine Hand besiegt,
Wie meine diesen! Wenn es anders fügt ein Gott,
So wirst du Weisheit lernen, doch zu spät belehrt.
