Βάτραχοι (Χορός 1528-1533) [Le Rane, Coro 1528-1533 / Frogs, Chorus 1528-1533]

	Translated into English rhyming verse by Gilbert Murray from archive.org
E voi, divinità infere concedete anzitutto felice viaggio	Peace go with him and joy in his journeying ! Guide ye our poet
al poeta che se ne va e risale alla luce;	Forth to the light, ye Powers that reign in the Earth and below it ;
e alla città buoni pensieri per grandi fortune;	Send good thoughts with him, too, for the aid of a travailing nation.
così saremo completamente liberati da grandi affanni e da tristi adunate in armi.	So shall we rest at the last, and forget our long desolation,
Cleofonte poi, e chi altro di loro ne ha voglia,	War and the clashing of wrong. — And for Cleophon, why, if he'd rather,
vada a combattere sui campi della sua patria.	Let him fight all alone with his friends, in the far-off fields of his father.
