DANAUS.
If so he will, your toils to joy will turn.
CHORUS.
Lo, on this shrine, the semblance of a bird.[[2]]
DANAUS.
Zeus’ bird of dawn it is; invoke the sign.
CHORUS.
Thus I invoke the saving rays of morn.
DANAUS.
Next, bright Apollo, exiled once from heaven.
CHORUS.
The exiled god will pity our exile.
DANAUS.
Yea, may he pity, giving grace and aid.
CHORUS.
Whom next invoke I, of these other gods?
DANAUS.
Lo, here a trident, symbol of a god.
CHORUS.
Who[[3]] gave sea-safety; may he bless on land!
