Euripides. The Plays of Euripides, Translated into English Prose from the Text of Paley. Vol. II. Coleridge, Edward P., translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1891.

  1. a different breeze to different men, so that some have joy in setting sail, and sorrow some, and others hard constraint, to make some start and others prepare and others delay!
  2. Full of trouble then, it seems, is the race of mortals, full of trouble indeed; and it is Fate’s decree that man should find distress.
  3. Woe! woe to you, you child of Tyndareus,
  4. for the suffering and anguish sore, which you are causing the Danaids!

  1. I pity you for your cruel fate—a fate I would you never had met!
