unalloyed�察�earth and sky seem whirling round together�察�I see the
throne of Zeus and all the godhead's majesty。 Kiss thee� �no� �There are
the Graces trying to tempt me。 I shall rest well enough with my
Ganymede here�察�yea�察�by the Graces�察�right fairly�察�for I like lads
better than the wenches。
  SILENUS
    What� �Cyclops�察�am I Ganymede�察�Zeus's minion��
  CYCLOPS ��attempting to carry him into the cave��
    To be sure�察�Ganymede whom I am carrying off from the halls of
Dardanus。
  SILENUS
    I am undone�察�my children�察�outrageous treatment waits me。
  LEADER OF THE CHORUS
    Dost find fault with thy lover�拭�dost scorn him in his cups��
  SILENUS
    Woe is me� �most bitter shall I find the wine ere long。

    ��SILENUS is dragged into the cave by the CYCLOPS。��

  ODYSSEUS
    Up now�察�children of Dionysus�察�sons of a noble sire�察�soon will
yon creature in the cave�察�relaxed in slumber as ye see him�察�spew
from his shameless maw the meat。 Already the brand inside his lair
is vomiting cloud of smoke�察�and the only reason we prepared it was
to burn the Cyclops' eye�察�so mind thou quit thee like a man。
  LEADER
    I will have a spirit as of rock or adamant�察�but go inside��
before my father suffers any shameful treatment�察�for here thou hast
things ready。
  ODYSSEUS
    O Hephaestus�察�lord of Aetna�察�rid thyself for once and all of a
troublesome neighbour by burning his bright eye out。 Come�察�Sleep�察�as
well�察�offspring of sable Night�察�come with all thy power on the monster
god´detested�察�and never after Troy's most glorious toils destroy
Odysseus and his crew by the hands of one who recketh naught of God or
man�察�else roust we reckon Chance a goddess�察�and Heaven's will inferior
to hers。
                                       ��ODYSSEUS re´enters the cave。��
    CHORUS ��singing��
    Tightly the pincers shall grip the neck of him who feasts upon his
guests�察�for soon will he lose the light of his eye by fire�察�already
the brand�察�a tree's huge limb�察�lurks amid the embers charred。 Oh� �come
ye then and work his doom�察�pluck out the maddened Cyclops' eye�察�that
he may rue his drinking。 And I too fain would leave the Cyclops'
lonely land and see king Bromius�察�ivy´crowned�察�the god I sorely
miss。 Ah� �shall I ever come to that��
  ODYSSEUS ��leaving the cave cautiously��
    Silence�察�ye cattle� �I adjure you�察�close your lips�察�make not a
sound I'll not let a man of you so much as breathe or wink or clear
his throat�察�that yon pest awake not�察�until the sight in the Cyclops'
eye has passed through the fiery ordeal。
  LEADER OF THE CHORUS
    Silent we stand with bated breath。
  ODYSSEUS
    In then�察�and mind your fingers grip the brand�察�for it is
splendidly red´hot。
  LEADER
    Thyself ordain who first must seize the blazing bar and burn the
Cyclops' eye out�察�that we may share alike whate'er betides。
  FIRST SEMI´CHORUS
    Standing where I am before the door�察�I am too far off to thrust
the fire into his eye。
  SECOND SEMI´CHORUS
    I have just gone lame。
  FIRST SEMI´CHORUS
    Why�察�then�察�thou art in the same plight as I�察�for somehow or
other I sprained my ankle�察�standing still。
  ODYSSEUS
    Sprained thy ankle�察�standing still��
  SECOND SEMI´CHORUS
    Yes�察�and my eyes are full of dust or ashes from somewhere or
other。
  ODYSSEUS
    These are sorry fellows�察�worthless as allies。
  LEADER
    Because I feel for my back and spine�察�and express no wish to
have my teeth knocked out�察�I am a coward�察�am I�拭�Well�察�but I know a
spell of Orpheus�察�a most excellent one�察�to make the brand enter his
skull of its own accord�察�and set alight the one´eyed son of Earth。
  ODYSSEUS
    Long since I knew thou wert by nature such an one�察�and now I
know it better�察�I must employ my own friends�察�but�察�though thou bring
no active aid�察�cheer us on at any rate�察�that I may find my friends
emboldened by thy encouragement。
                                  ��ODYSSEUS goes back into the cave。��
  LEADER
    That will I do�察�the Carian shall run the risk for us�察�and as far
as encouragement goes�察�let the Cyclops smoulder。
  CHORUS ��singing��
    What ho� �my gallants�察�thrust away�察�make haste and burn his eyebrow
off�察�the monster's guest´devouring。 Oh� �singe and scorch the
shepherd of Aetna�察�twirl the brand and drag it round and be careful
lest in his agony he treat thee to some wantonness。
  CYCLOPS ��bellowing in the cave��
    Oh� �oh� �my once bright eye is burnt to cinders now。
  LEADER OF THE CHORUS
    Sweet indeed the triumph´song�察�pray sing it to us�察�Cyclops。
  CYCLOPS ��from within��
    Oh� �oh� �once more�察�what outrage on me and what ruin� �But never
shall ye escape this rocky cave unpunished�察�ye worthless creatures��
for will stand in the entrance of the cleft and fit my hands into it
thus。 ��Staggering to the entrance��
  LEADER
    Why dost thou cry out�察�Cyclops��
  CYCLOPS
    I am undone。
  LEADER
    Thou art indeed a sorry sight。
  CYCLOPS
    Aye�察�and a sad one�察�too。
  LEADER
    Didst fall among the coals in a drunken fit��
  CYCLOPS
    Noman has undone me��
  LEADER
    Then there is no one hurting thee after all。
  CYCLOPS
    Noman is blinding me。
  LEADER
    Then art thou not blind。
  CYCLOPS
    As blind as thou�察�forsooth。
  LEADER
    How�察�pray�察�could no man have made thee blind��
  CYCLOPS
    Thou mockest me�察�but where is this Noman��
  LEADER
    Nowhere�察�Cyclops。
  CYCLOPS
    It was the stranger�察�vile wretch� �who proved my ruin�察�that thou
mayst understand rightly�察�by swilling me with the liquor he gave me。
  LEADER
    Ah� �wine is a terrible foe�察�hard to wrestle with。
  CYCLOPS
    Tell me�察�I adjure thee�察�have they escaped or are they still
within��

    ��During the following lines�察�ODYSSEUS and his men slip by the
CYCLOPS�察�despite his efforts to stop them。��

  LEADER
    Here they are ranged in silence�察�taking the rock to screen them。
  CYCLOPS
    On which side��
  LEADER
    On thy right。
  CYCLOPS
    Where��
  LEADER
    Close against the rock。 Hast caught them��
  CYCLOPS
    Trouble on trouble� �I have run my skull against the rock and
cracked it
  LEADER
    Aye�察�and they are escaping thee。
  CYCLOPS
    This way�察�was it not�拭�'Twas this way thou saidst。
  LEADER
    No�察�not this way。
  CYCLOPS
    Which then��
  LEADER
    They are getting round thee on the left。
  CYCLOPS
    Alas� �I am being mocked�察�ye jeer me in my evil plight。
  LEADER
    They are no longer there�察�but facing thee that stranger stands。
  CYCLOPS
    Master of villainy�察�where�察�oh� �where art thou��
  ODYSSEUS
    Some way from thee I am keeping careful guard over the person of
Odysseus。
  CYCLOPS
    What�察�a new name� �hast changed thine��
  ODYSSEUS
    Yes�察�Odysseus�察�the name my father gave me。 But thou wert doomed to
pay for thy unholy feast�察�for I should have seen Troy burned to but
sorry purpose�察�unless I had avenged on thee the slaughter of my
comrades。
  CYCLOPS
    Woe is me� �'tis an old oracle coming true�察�yes�察�it said I should
have my eye put out by thee on thy way home from Troy�察�but it likewise
foretold that thou wouldst surely pay for this�察�tossing on the sea for
many day。
  ODYSSEUS
    Go hang� �E'en as I say�察�so have I done。 And now will I get me to
the beach and start my hollow ship across the sea of Sicily to the
land of my fathers。
  CYCLOPS
    Thou shalt not�察�I will break a boulder off this rock and crush
thee�察�crew and all�察�beneath my throw。 Blind though I be�察�I will
climb the hill�察�mounting through yonder tunnel。
  LEADER
    As for us�察�henceforth will we be the servants of Bacchus��
sharing the voyage of this hero Odysseus。
