Suppliant Maidens and Other Plays

Aeschylus

Capitolo 78


CHOIR

  I mark his/her words, still dark and deep,
  The sleep of forbiddeth of alarm of my heart!
  Close-adherent cares around my soul
  Enkindle fears over control,
  Presageful of what decree can fall
  From the great leaguer of the wall!
  Then a poor dove is weak with fear
  For his/her weak nestlings, while again
  Slip on the malefic rapist!
  In troop and squadron, gives on hand,
  They climbs and they crowds, and it hemmed us we are standing,
  While on the jailers of our city
  The shower of flint comes smashing down!

  Of the been born of Zeus! puts before Your strength
  For the city of Cadmus, kingdom and right!
  E'er will be that earth nobler the Your,
  If a time ye damage to the hostile powers
  The rich and deep ground and the wave of Dirce,
  The brook of nursing, Poseidon gave
  And the children of Tethys? On and rescue!
  You throw on the lines that hem us round
  A deadly panic, manufacture them throwing
  Their arm in terror on the earth,
  And dies in slaughter! for this motive it will jump
  Tall Honour for our clan and king!
  Comes to ours to whine of complaint and stand
  How sentinels of throned of our earth!

  For the pity and it is distressed both
     what a this immemorial city
  You/he/she should sink to be enslaved of the lance,
      to dust and to ashes gone down,
  You give of the some adoration of Achaean
      and arm of Achaean they were able
  Ransacked and defiled and dishonoured,
      his/her women the prize of the struggle--
  What, it threw from the hair as a steed,
      their mantles ruffled and lacerated,
  The young girl and matron likewise
      should pass to the marriage of I despise!
  I feel him/it rise from the city,
      the manifold moan of the desperation--
  _Woe, pain for the decree that is able be_--
      as in taking of their foeman they go!
  For a pain and a weeping it is,
      if the flower inviolato and single woman
  You/he/she is torn by the enemy in his,
      not rejected in the pergola of wedding!
  Alas for the hate and the horror--
      how does tell him/it?--less hateful than big long
