On him who dealt the dastard blow
Comes Craft, Revenge's scheming child.
And hand in hand with him doth go,
Eager for fight,

The child of Zeus, whom men below
Call Justice, naming her aright.
And on the foe her breath
Is as the blast of death;

There hath come to one whose care is lurking warfare, Retribution of wily soul. The daughter of Jove too hath in very truth lent a hand to the battle,—and correctly do we mortals style her Justice,—breathing deadly wrath against her foes:

jetez un cri d'allégresse sur le palais de vos maitres enfin délivré de ses maux, ainsi que des deux sacrilèges qui,
pour dévorer ses richesses 1 , avaient pris un chemin de mort!
Il est venu, celui qui, en luttant dans l'ombre, sait par la ruse achever le châtiment. Et elle a touché son bras 2 dans la
lutte, la fille de Zeus, celle que nous, mortels, nommons, du nom qui lui revient, Justice 3 ,

Giunse colui che volgeva nell'animo
subdola pena d'oscuro delitto;
e mentre ardeva piú fiero il conflitto,
la figlia vergine di Zeus lo sfiorò.
855
Quella che gli uomini, volgendo a buon segno
gli auspici, chiaman Giustizia, il suo sdegno
sovra i nemici, a sterminio spirò.
Alti si levino gioiosi gridi:
fine hanno i triboli di questa terra,
860
fine han gli sperperi degli omicidi:
fortuna i tramiti suoi piú non serra.

Es kam die Vergeltung; und listiger Trug,
wohl ziemt er der Rache;
sie liebt den heimlichen Stofs.
950 Doch führte die Hand zum Stofse
Vergeltung; also nennt mit Recht
der Sterblichen Mund die Tochter des Zeus.
Sie schnob in grimmigem Grolle
den Feinden den Untergang.
Heil rufet mit Jauchzen
dem Hause des Herrn.

Schlau kam wider ihn, der den geheimen Kampf
Kämpfte, die Strafgöttin;
940
Und es ergriff im Kampf ihn an der Hand des Zeus
Wahrhaftes Kind; Gerechtigkeit
Nennen wir Sterblichen
Sie, die das Recht wahrt, mit Recht:
Mit des Verderbens Wuth haucht sie den Frevler an.
