But 'tis my lot, for the gods have visited me with the hardship of a captured city; for they brought me to a slave's estate afar from the house of my fathers, to acquiesce in the things that seem fit to the lords over my life, just or unjust, [the deeds] of mastering the loathing of my soul, those who are violently borne along 6

Doch ach, uns drückt das Joch des Heimatlosen;
in Knechtschaft warfen uns die Götter,
und Recht und Unrecht, wie's der Herr gebeut,
der Diener muſs es loben.

ORESTES
ANTISTROPHE VI.
Can grief by flattery be subdued,
Or soothed by fawning? No, to quell the pain
By parent's hate engendered, charms are vain;
Like savage wolf that ravens for its food,
Tameless from birth is sorrow's torturing brood.
English (E. D. A. Morshead, 1889, second edition) (OCR draft) Experimental (Aeschylus, The Libation-Bearers — Morshead translation. Wikisource transcription; speech corresp and card milestones aligned to Smyth perseus-grc2.) — 75 focus
And upon me—ah me!—the gods have laid
The woe that wrapped round Troy,
90
What time they led me down from home and kin
Unto a slave's employ—
The doom to bow the head
And watch our master's will
Work deeds of good and ill—
95
To see the headlong sway of force and sin,
And hold restrained the spirit's bitter hate,
Wailing the monarch's fruitless fate,
Hiding my face within my robe, and fain
Of tears, and chilled with frost of hidden pain.

Doch ich, (denn zwiefache Noth legten mir
Die Götter auf: fern vom Vaterhause
80
Führten sie mich fort in's Joch der Knechtschaft,)
Ich muß die Zwingherrn loben, wie mein Loos gebeut,
Ob Recht sie thun, ob Böses, muß den bittern Haß
Im Herzen zähmen, und bewein' im Schleier still
Des Herrschers unseliges
85
Geschick, in tiefverhaltnem Seelenleid erstarrt.
