LEADER What marvel that we loathe them, scared in soul?

THE KING OF ARGOS Awe towards a king should other fears transcend.

LEADER Thus speak, thus act, and reassure my mind.

THE KING OF ARGOS Not long thy sire shall leave thee desolate.

But I will call the country's indwellers,

And with soft words th' assembly will persuade,

And warn your sire what pleadings will avail.

Therefore abide ye, and with prayer entreat

The country's gods to compass your desire;

The while I go, this matter to provide,

Persuasion and fair fortune at my side.

The KING OF ARGOS departs with his retinue. The CHORUS forms to sing its prayer to Zeus.
