ATHENA
No house shall prosper without grace of thine。
LEADER
Canst thou achieve and grant such power to me��
ATHENA
Yea�察�for my hand shall bless thy worshippers。
LEADER
And wilt thou pledge me this for time eterne��
ATHENA
Yea�此�none can bid me pledge beyond my power。
LEADER
Lo�察�I desist from wrath�察�appeased by thee。
ATHENA
Then in the land's heart shalt thou win thee friends。
LEADER
What chant dost bid me raise�察�to greet the land��
ATHENA
Such as aspires towards a victory
Unrued by any�此�chants from breast of earth��
From wave�察�from sky�察�and let the wild winds' breath
Pass with soft sunlight o'er the lap of land�察�
Strong wax the fruits of earth�察�fair teem the kine��
Unfailing�察�for my town's prosperity��
And constant be the growth of mortal seed。
But more and more root out the impious��
For as a gardener fosters what he sows��
So foster I this race�察�whom righteousness
Doth fend from sorrow。 Such the proffered boon。
But I�察�if wars must be�察�and their loud clash
And carnage�察�for my town�察�will ne'er endure
That aught but victory shall crown her fame。
CHORUS ��chanting��
Lo�察�I accept it�察�at her very side
Doth Pallas bid me dwell��
I will not wrong the city of her pride��
Which even Almighty Zeus and Ares hold
Heaven's earthly citadel��
Loved home of Grecian gods�察�the young�察�the old��
The sanctuary divine��
The shield of every shrine��
For Athens I say forth a gracious prophecy�察�
The glory of the sunlight and the skies
Shall bid from earth arise
Warm wavelets of new life and glad prosperity。
ATUENA ��chanting��
Behold�察�with gracious heart well pleased
I for my citizens do grant
Fulfilment of this covenant��
And here�察�their wrath at length appeased��
These mighty deities shall stay。
For theirs it is by right to sway
The lot that rules our mortal day��
And he who hath not inly felt
Their stern decree�察�ere long on him��
Not knowing why and whence�察�the grim
Life´crushing blow is dealt。
The father's sin upon the child
Descends�察�and sin is silent death��
And leads him on the downward path��
By stealth beguiled��
Unto the Furies�此�though his state
On earth were high�察�and loud his boast��
Victim of silent ire and hate
He dwells among the Lost。
CHORUS ��chanting��
To my blessing now give ear。´
Scorching blight nor singed air
Never blast thine olives fair��
Drouth�察�that wasteth bud and plant��
Keep to thine own place。 Avaunt��
Famine fell�察�and come not hither
Stealthily to waste and wither��
Let the land�察�in season due��
Twice her waxing fruits renew��
Teem the kine in double measure��
Rich in new god´given treasure��
Here let men the powers adore
For sudden gifts unhoped before��
ATHENA ��chanting��
O hearken�察�warders of the wall
That guards mine Athens�察�what a dower
Is unto her ordained and given��
For mighty is the Furies' power��
And deep´revered in courts of heaven
And realms of hell�察�and clear to all
They weave thy doom�察�mortality��
And some in joy and peace shall sing��
But unto other some they bring
Sad life and tear´dimmed eye。
CHORUS ��chanting��
And far away I ban thee and remove��
Untimely death of youths too soon brought low��
And to each maid�察�O gods�察�when time is come for love��
Grant ye a warrior's heart�察�a wedded life to know。
Ye too�察�O Fates�察�children of mother Night��
Whose children too are we�察�O goddesses
Of just award�察�of all by sacred right
Queens�察�who in time and in eternity
Do rule�察�a present power for righteousness��
Honoured beyond all Gods�察�hear ye and grant my cry��
ATHENA ��chanting��
And I too�察�I with joy am fain��
Hearing your voice this gift ordain
Unto my land。 High thanks be thine��
Persuasion�察�who with eyes divine
Into my tongue didst look thy strength��
To bend and to appease at length
Those who would not be comforted。
Zeus�察�king of parley�察�doth prevail��
And ye and I will strive nor fail��
That good may stand in evil's stead��
And lasting bliss for bale。
CHORUS ��chanting��
And nevermore these walls within
Shall echo fierce sedition's din��
Unslaked with blood and crime��
The thirsty dust shall nevermore
Suck up the darkly streaming gore
Of civic broils�察�shed out in wrath
And vengeance�察�crying death for death��
But man with man and state with state
Shall vow The pledge of common hate
And common friendship�察�that for man
Hath oft made blessing�察�out of ban��
Be ours unto all time。
ATHENA ��chanting��
Skill they�察�or not�察�the path to find
Of favouring speech and presage kind��
Yea�察�even from these�察�who�察�grim and stern��
Glared anger upon you of old��
O citizens�察�ye now shall earn
A recompense right manifold。
Deck them aright�察�extol them high��
Be loyal to their loyalty��
And ye shall make your town and land
Sure�察�propped on justice' saving hand��
And Fame's eternity。
CHORUS ��chanting��
Hail ye�察�all hail� �and yet again�察�all hail��
O Athens�察�happy in a weal secured��
O ye who sit by Zeus' right hand�察�nor fail
Of wisdom set among you and assured��
Loved of the well´loved Goddess´Maid� �the King
Of gods doth reverence you�察�beneath her guarding wing。
ATHENA ��chanting��
All hail unto each honoured guest��
Whom to the chambers of your rest
'Tis mine to lead�察�and to provide
The hallowed torch�察�the guard and guide。
Pass down�察�the while these altars glow
With sacred fire�察�to earth below
And your appointed shrine。
There dwelling�察�from the land restrain
The force of fate�察�the breath of bane��
But waft on us the gift and gain
Of Victory divine��
And ye�察�the men of Cranaos' seed��
I bid you now with reverence lead
These alien Powers that thus are made
Athenian evermore。 To you
Fair be their will henceforth�察�to do
Whate'er may bless and aid��
CHORUS ��chanting��
Hail to you all� �hail yet again��
All who love Athens�察�gods and men��
Adoring her as Pallas' home��
And while ye reverence what ye grant´
My sacred shrine and hidden haunt´
Blameless and blissful be your doom��
ATHENA
Once more I praise the promise of your vows��
And now I bid the golden torches' glow
Pass down before you to the hidden depth
Of earth�察�by mine own sacred servants borne��
My loyal guards of statue and of shrine。
Come forth�察�O flower of Attic land��
O glorious band of children and of wives��
And ye�察�O train of matrons crowned with eld��
Deck you with festal robes of scarlet dye
In honour of this day�此�O gleaming torch��
Lead onward�察�that these gracious powers of earth
Henceforth be seen to bless the life of men。
��ATHENA leads the procession downwards into the Cave of the
FURRES�察�now Eumenides�察�under the Areopagus�此�as they
go�察�the escort of women and children chant
