This third tempest arising out of the family, after having blown In its turn in the royal halls, like as a family wind 2
hath come to an end. First of all there were the child-devouring wretched troubles of Thyestes. Next came a hero's kingly sufferings, and stabbed in a bath the warrior chieftain of the Greeks perished. Now too once more, third in order, there hath come, we know not whence, a saviour, or should I call it doom. Where then is the violence of calamity, when lulled, to find an end; or where is it to reach a termination?

Questa terza procella s'abbatte
990
d'improvviso spirando, sovressa
la casa del re.
Cominciarono i miseri strazî
di Tieste, ed i figli vorati.
Fu seconda la strage regale,
995
quando il duce, il signor degli Achivi,
fu sgozzato nel bagno. Ora terza
giunge questa, non so s'io dir debba
salvezza o rovina.
Quale mèta avrà mai, quale termine
1000
del cordoglio la Furia sopita?

Also hat sich jähes Ungewitter
über unserm Königshaus entladen,
schon zum dritten Male schlug es ein.
1070 Erst der Knäblein jämmerliches Schicksal,
da Thyestes Unerhörtes litt.
Zweites Opfer war ein Mann; im Bade
fiel der Held, der Herzog der Hellenen.
Heut' erschien der dritte - sag' ich Retter,
sag' ich Schicksalsschlag? Was ist der Ausgang?
1075 Kaum entschlummert wacht die Wut des Fluches
wieder auf und rast - wohin, wohin?

Behold, the storm of woe divine
That raves and beats on Atreus' line
Its great third blast hath blown.
First was Thyestes' loathly woe—
The rueful feast of long ago,
1190
On children's flesh, unknown.
And next the kingly chief's despite,
When he who led the Greeks to fight
Was in the bath hewn down.
And now the offspring of the race
1195
Stands in the third, the saviour's place,—
To save—or to consume?
O whither, ere it be fulfilled,
Ere its fierce blast be hushed and stilled,
Shall blow the wind of doom?

So erfüllte sich denn in der Könige Haus
Nun dreimal der Sturm,
1060
Der mit Macht wuthschnaubend hereinbrach.
Erst sah es den Gräul, der die Kinder zerfleischt,
Und das blutige Mahl des Thyestes;
Zum zweiten das Loos, das den König entrafft;
Denn gemordet im Bad, ach! sank, der im Streit
1065
Den Achäern gebot.
Zum dritten erschien — wie nenn' ich ihn doch?
Den Erretter? Den Fluch?
Wo endet sie noch, wo findet sie Ruh,
Die entschlummerte Wuth des Verderbens?
