quel breuvage jailli d'entre les flots marins as-tu donc absorbé, que tu aies cru pouvoir, infligeant tel trépas, écarter, supprimer les imprécations d'un peuple ? Non !

What poiſon hath the baleful-teeming earth q

Or the chaſ’d billows of the foamy ſea,
Giv’n thee for food, or mingled in thy cup,
To work thee to this frenzy?

Thy curs’d hand
Hath ſtruck, hath ſlain. For this thy country’s wrath
Shall in juſt vengeance burſt upon thy head,
And with abhorrence drive thee from the city.

Qual tristo cibo nutrito dal suolo,
qual filtro attinto dai gorghi del mare

Woman, what deadly birth,
What venomed essence of the earth
Or dark distilment of the wave,
To thee such passion gave,
Nerving thine hand
1630
To set upon thy brow this burning crown,
The curses of thy land?
Our king by thee cut off, hewn down!
Go forth—they cry— accursèd and forlorn,
To hate and scorn!

Was für ein Gift, o Frau,
Das dir die Erde zu kosten bot,
Oder das Meer zum Trank spendete, schlangst du hinab,
Daß dich so grause Wuth faßt' und des Volkes Fluch?
Schänderin, Mörderin! Fleuch, aus der Stadt verbannt,
1360
Fleuch, den Bürgern ein Abscheu!
