Both wands and, round my neck, oracular fillets?
Thee, at least, ere my own fate will I ruin:
Go, to perdition falling! Boons exchange we
Some other Até in my stead make wealthy!
See there himself, Apollon stripping from me
The oracular garment! having looked upon me
Even in these adornments, laughed by friends at,
As good as foes, i the balance weighed: and vainly
For, called crazed stroller, as I had been gipsy,
Beggar, unhappy, starved to death, I bore it.
And now the Prophet prophet me undoing,
Has led away to these so deadly fortunes!
Instead of my sires altar, waits the hack-block
She struck with first warm bloody sacrificing!
Yet nowise unavenged of gods will death be:
For there shall come another, our avenger,
The mother-slaying scion, fathers doomsman:
Fugitive, wanderer, from this land an exile,
Back shall he come, for friends, copestone these curses!
For there is sworn a great oath from the gods that
Him shall bring hither his fallen sires prostration.
Why make I then, like an indweller, moaning?
Since at the first I foresaw Ilions city
Suffering as it has suffered: and who took it,
Thus by the judgment of the gods are faring.
I go, will suffer, will submit to dying!
But, Haides gates these same I call, I speak to,
And pray that on an opportune blow chancing,
Without a struggle, blood the calm death bringing
In easy outflow, I this eye may close up!
