Mir schlug ein vorwurfschweres Wort im Traum an's Ohr,
150
Und traf gleich dem Rosselenker mich
Mit machtvollem Stoß
Tief in die Brust, in's Mark.
Ich fühle, schwer faßt mich's an, eisigkalt schaudert mich's
Vom zornig grausen Geißelschlag.

Zweite Gegenstrophe.

ATHENA
Ye too farewell! Mine is it first to show
Your destined seats and thitherward to lead.
Escorted by the torchlight's sacred glow,
The while in sacrifice the victims bleed
960
The downward slope descend.
Whate'er is baneful to the land restrain,
And conquest's gracious ministry upsend
To this my city. Tutelary train,
Children of Cranaos, it belongs to you,
These alien settlers to their homes to guide;
And with my lieges may there aye abide,
Discernment rightful of the Right and True.

The sound of chiding scorn
Came from the land of dream;
Deep to mine inmost heart I felt it thrill and burn,
Thrust as a strong-grasped goad, to urge

Onward the chariot's team.
Thrilled, chilled with bitter inward pain
I stand as one beneath the doomsman's scourge.
