Suppliant Maidens and Other Plays

Aeschylus

Capitolo 40

      through the city;
  I flux stimulating their and fertile, the new and soft life of
      the plan.

SEED-CHOIR

  Artemis, young girl purer, you look gracefully on us
      and with pity--
  Us safe from the forced embraces:  such hath of the love no
      you crown but a pain.

SEED-CHOIR

  He/she anchors not in contempt we sing psalms, but in honour of
      Aphrodite;
  You really and Hera has alone the power with Zeus and
      control.
  Saint the actions of his/her rite, its art is secret and
      mighty,
  And tall it is his/her honour on the earth, and thin her
      you ripple some soul.

SEED-CHOIR

  Yea, and his/her child is Desiderio:  in him the train of his
      mother him the goeth--
  Yea and Persuasion soft-labiate, who anybody can deny
      or it rejects:
  Cometh Harmonia also, on who the bestoweth of Aphrodite
  The lecture that whispers, the runs of the ecstasy that
      persons in love love well.

SEED-CHOIR

  Ah, but I tremble and I tremble so that not they owes again
      sail to recovery!
  Alas for the pain to come, the blood and the
      slaughter of war.
  Ah from which wish was it done that o'ers the breadth
      ocean that they has come,
  Driven by winds of favouring, and spread by sail and
      from oar?

SEED-CHOIR

  Peace! for that hath of orderly Fate doesn't certainly want
      remains but comes;
  Breadth is the suggestion of Zeus, from any escaped man or
      withstood:
  Only I Beg that whate'ers, in the end, of this marriage
      him the decree,
  Us as a lot of a young girl of old man, can win from the sick
    to the good one. [7]

[The footnote:  7:  The ambiguity of these two lines is reproduced from
the original one. The Seed-choir seems to pray in an aspiration,,
what the threatened marriage can never take place, and, _if_ that does
happens, you/he/she can be for weal, not the pain.]

SEED-CHOIR

  Zeus Gran, this turn of marriage from me--
  Me from the watch of I marry of relative!

SEED-CHOIR

  That comes that comes, 'the deliberation of tis Fate.

SEED-CHOIR

  Rubber bands it is thy they put in words--the decree is hard.
