Capitolo 62
Launched on my child by wish of Zeus! I held far our decree
In womb of time; but, if a push of king in ahead to his/her fate,
The same god allures to death that man infatua!
So now the a lot of source of brooks of pain out on that self I loved,
And mine his/her own child, imprudently daring, the truth of this hath they tried!
He looked for to cricket and it checks the wave of Hellespontine,
That dresses again wicker from the Bosporus, with chains of a slave!--
Tender to brake and to make a bridge on, with settled connections the dripping water-way,
And drives through the wide passage his/her manifold order!
Ah, the folly I recommend I deprive of! he held that wights deadly
Could oppose the wish of Sky curb and it the strength of Poseidon!
Was it not the madness? a lot that I fear so that not all of my wealth and shop
Footsteps from my treasure-house, once more to be the prize of the snatcher!
ATOSSA
Man is the lesson, ah, too late! to anxious Xerxes it taught--
Casual advisers that have trust and hare-brained men of nothing,
Who told mighty wealth and the fame _Darius us you bring,
But you nothing of art, a dull lance, a king_ of the building-custody!
To those sorry advisers a ready ear that he has lent,
And it conducted away to the beach of Hellas his/her predestinate armament.
GHOST OF DARIUS
Therefore through them hath come to calamity
Forgetting more enormous and past; neither of old man
It ever made such autumn of extermination
On the urban Susa. A long time ago
Zeus in his/her power this right gave,
What with a driving scepter one soles man
You/he/she should dominate this Asian earth of flock and herd.
On the people a Mede, Astyages,
Understands the power: then Cyaxares dominated
In the place of his/her sire, and it correctly held the hesitation,
Governing his/her state with careful caution.
Third in succession, Cyrus, blest of Sky,
It regulates estate and 'the peace of stablished for all of his/her clan:
Lydian and Phrygian won him to his/her hesitation,
