What horrid poison nourished by the earth, woman! or drink coming from the flowing 1

Thou hast cast him off, thou hast cut him off; and an outlaw shalt thou be, a fearful abhorrence to thy countrymen.

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.

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!

Der inneren Erregung, welche durch die unerhörte Frechheit hervorgerufen wird, entspricht der Wechsel des Versmafses. Der Vortragende scheint nicht zu wechseln, also der Koryphaios das Strophenpaar zu singen.
„Du musst ein Giftkraut von der Erde oder (wahnsinnig machendes) Wasser vom Meere zu dir genommen haben, dafs du solche Tobsucht ( θύος wie θύουσαν 1234) und die Flüche des Volkes über dich gebracht hast. Ja weggeschleudert, abgetrennt (von sich) hat dich der Hafs der Bürger." Vgl. Hom. X 94 βεβρωκώς κακὰ φάρμακ᾽, ἔδυ δέ τέ μιν χόλος αἰνός. Das Asyndeton ἀπέδικέ σ' wie an der gleichen Stelle der Antistrophe.
