"But dream-appearing mournful fantasies --
There they stand, bringing grace that's vain.
For vain 't is, when brave things one seems to view;
The fantasy has floated off, hands through;
Gone, that appearance, -- nowise left to creep, --
On wings, the servants in the paths of sleep!"
Woes, then, in household and on hearth, are such
As these--and woes surpassing these by much.
But not these only: everywhere --
For those who from the land
Of Hellas issued in a band,
Sorrow, the heart must bear,
Sits in the home of each, conspicuous there.
Many a circumstance, at least,
Touches the very breast.
For those
Whom any sent away, -- he knows:
And in the live man's stead,
Armour and ashes reach
The house of each.
CHOROS.
Empowered am I to sing
The omens, what their force which, journeying,
Rejoiced the potentates:
(For still, from God, inflates
My breast song-suasion: age,
Born to the business, still such war can wage)
-- How the fierce bird against the Teukris land
Despatched, with spear and executing hand,
The Achaian's two-throned empery--o'er Hellas' youth
Two rulers with one mind:
The birds' king to these kings of ships, on high,
-- The black sort, and the sort that's white behind, --
Appearing by the palace, on the spear-throw side,
In right sky-regions, visible far and wide, --
Devouring a hare-creature, great with young,
Baulked of more racings they, as she from whom they sprung!
Ah, Linos, say -- ah, Linos, song of wail!
But may the good prevail!
