And I pray that sedition, insatiate of ills, may never roar in this city: nor that the dust having drunk the black blood of the citizens, bear away from the city the curse of slaughter for slaughter, through the rage for vengeance 1
. But may they render to each other in turn joyful offices with thoughts for common weal, and hate with one mind: for this is a remedy for many things among mortals.

Ne'er may diſcord's hideous pow'r
Here unſated ſtalk its round:
Slaughter ne'er with kindred gore
Madly drench the thirty ground;
1110
Whilſt revenge in barb'rous pride
Shakes the ſtreets with thund'ring tread,
Blood for blood demands, and wide
Joys the mutual rage to ſpread.
But to union's ſoft command
1115
May their minds harmonious move;
Leagu'd in war, a friendly band;
Tuned in peace to ſocial love.

Né mai su questa terra
1020
frema civile guerra,
che mai di mali è sazia.
Né d'atro sangue cittadin s'abbeveri
la polvere, onde poi furia nemica
sitisca nuova strage
1025
a vendicar l'antica.
Ma li stringa d'unanimi
affetti una compage,
d'unanimi odî: ai mali
farmaco sommo è questo pei mortali.

And nevermore these walls within
Shall echo fierce sedition's din,
1125
Unslaked with blood and crime;
The thirsty dust shall nevermore
Suck up the darkly streaming gore
Of civic broils, shed out in wrath
And vengeance, crying death for death!
1130
But man with man and state with state
Shall vow The pledge of common hate
And common friendship, that for man
Hath oft made blessing out of ban,
Be ours unto all time. 1

Daß, des Bluts niemals satt, Bürgeraufruhr nimmermehr
Brausend ziehe durch das Land,
Nimmer der Staub mit dem Blute der Bürger sich tränke,
Und im Zorne der Rache

Gierig verschlinge die Stadt!
Freude nur mögen sie traulich
Tauschen in liebender Eintracht,
Auch im Hassen Eines Sinns!
Vielfach wehrt ja dies der Erde Noth.

mvp-comment-264-1 πρὸς νεωτέρας] Cf. v. 775. The goddesses must not think they are slighted by Athena and her citizens, or banished from the land, when they have an abode offered them in it with all honour. Stay, says Athena, if you will listen to my advice. But if you do not choose to stay, it would be unjust to cause mischief to this country, since the option rests with yourself ( ἔξεστι γὰρ, ν. 850). Schol.

εἰ δὲ μὴ πείθῃ, ἴσθι (1. ἴθι) μὴ βλάψασα πόλιν.

Jeder Strophe und Antistrophe folgen 13 Verse der Athena, wornach die Partie mit 12 Versen Stichomythie und 12 Versen einer ῥῆσις der Athena abgeschlossen wird. Vgl. zu Ag. 1435 .
