    Holy the deeds of her rite; her craft is secret and mighty;
    And high is her honour on earth; and subtle her sway of the soul。
  SEMI…CHORUS
    Yea; and her child is Desire: in the train of his mother he goeth…
    Yea and Persuasion soft…lipped; whom none can deny or repel:
    Cometh Harmonia too; on whom Aphrodite bestoweth
    The whispering parley; the paths of the rapture that lovers love
      well。

    SEMI…CHORUS
                                                        antistrophe 2

    Ah; but I tremble and quake lest again they should sail to
      reclaim!
    Alas for the sorrow to come; the blood and the carnage of war。
    Ah; by whose will was it done that o'er the wide ocean they came;
    Guided by favouring winds; and wafted by sail and by oar?
  SEMI…CHORUS
    Peace! for what Fate hath ordained will surely not tarry but come;
    Wide is the counsel of Zeus; by no man escaped or withstood:
    Only I pray that whate'er; in the end; of this wedlock he doom;
    We; as many a maiden of old; may win from the ill to the good。

  SEMI…CHORUS
                                                            strophe 3

        Great Zeus; this wedlock turn from me…
        Me from the kinsman bridegroom guard!
  SEMI…CHORUS
        Come what come may; 'tis Fate's decree。
  SEMI…CHORUS
        Soft is thy word…the doom is hard。
  SEMI…CHORUS
        Thou know'st not what the Fates provide。

  SEMI…CHORUS
                                                        antistrophe 3

        How should I scan Zeus' mighty will;
        The depth of counsel undescried?
  SEMI…CHORUS
        Pray thou no word of omen ill。
  SEMI…CHORUS
        What timely warning wouldst thou teach?
  SEMI…CHORUS
        Beware; nor slight the gods in speech。

  SEMI…CHORUS
                                                            strophe 4

    Zeus; hold from my body the wedlock detested; the bridegroom
      abhorred!
        It was thou; it was thou didst release
    Mine ancestress Io from sorrow: thine healing it was that
      restored;
        The touch of thine hand gave her peace。

  SEMI…CHORUS
                                                        antistrophe 4

    Be thy will for the cause of the maidens! of two ills; the lesser
      I pray…
        The exile that leaveth me pure。
    May thy justice have heed to my cause; my prayers to thy mercy
      find way!
        For the hands of thy saving are sure。




                           THE END
