I rejoice therefore, [these goddesses] willingly accom­ plishing these things to my country; but I love the eyes of Persuasion, because she has watched over my tongue and mouth against these fiercely refusing. But Jove of the forum has conquered, and our strife to do good 3

This ready zeal accorded to my country
1100
Delights me; and with ardor muſt I love
Gentle perſuaſion, that hath tuned my voice
To move them from their ſtern and fierce reſolves.
The pleading voice of Jove hath here prevail'd;
And my warm efforts in the cauſe of mercy
1105
Extend their triumph thro' all future time.

Bene io godo che a questa mia terra
tali augurî si facciano, e venero
il tuo volto, Suada, che il labbro,
che la voce m'ornasti; e m'opposi
1015
di costoro al selvaggio rifiuto.
Or trionfo ebbe Giove, cui grata
è facondia: trionfo la causa
di Giustizia ebbe in tutto per me.

Wie beglückt es mich, daſs sie so gnädig
meinem Lande diesen Segen spenden,
970 und ich preise Peithos' holden Zauber,
der mir Mund und Zunge mächtig machte,
um zu sänften ihres Weigerns Wildheit.
So hat Zeus, der Friedefürst des Wortes,
triumphiert. Im Wettkampf um das Gute
975 bleibt auf unsrer Seite stets das Glück.

And I too, I with joy am fain,
Hearing thy voice this gift ordain
Unto my land. High thanks be thine,
1115
Persuasion, who with eyes divine
Into my tongue didst look thy strength,
To bend and to allay at length
Those who would not be comforted.
Zeus, king of parley, doth prevail,
1120
And ye and I will strive nor fail,
That good may stand in evil's stead,
And lasting bliss for bale.

Wie bin ich entzückt, daß ihr meinem Gebiet
Dies freundlich gewährt!
Wie preis' ich den Huldblick Peitho's dafür,
925
Die weise das Wort und den Mund mir gelenkt,
Zu gewinnen die streng abweisende Schaar!
Doch gesiegt hat Zeus, der Herrscher im Rath,
Und uns bleibt stets
In dem Kampf um das Gute der Siegspreis.
