It is not my own house at whose hearth you sit. If the state is stained by pollution in its commonalty, in common let the people strive to work out the cure. For myself, I will pledge no promise before I have communicated these events to all the citizens.
370
Chorus
You are the state, you are the people. Being subject to no judge, you rule the altar, your countrys hearth by your wills sole ordinance; and, enthroned in sole sovereignty,
you determine every issue. Beware pollution!
376
King
Pollution on my enemies! But without harm I do not know how to help you. And yet again, it is not well advised to slight these supplications. I am perplexed, and fear possesses my soul
whether to act, or not to act and take what fortune sends.
