If yet our former glories fade not from us.
ATOSSA
And therefore am I comeleaving my house
That shines with gorgeous ornaments and gold
Where in past days Darius held with me
His royal residence. With anxious care
My heart is tortured: I will tell youfriends
My thoughtsnot otherwise devoid of fear
Lest mighty wealth with haughty foot o'erturn
And trample in the dust that happiness
Whichnot unbless'd by HeavenDarius raised.
For this with double force unquiet thoughts
Past utterance fill my soul; that neither wealth
With all its golden storeswhere men are wanting
Claims reverence; nor the lightthat beams from power
Shines on the man whom wealth disdains to grace.
The golden stores of wealth indeed are ours;
But for the light (such in the house I deem
The presence of its lord) there I have fears.
Advise me thenyou whose experienced age
Supports the state of Persia: prudence guides
Your councilsalways kind and faithful to me.

We want no second biddingwhere our power
In word or deed waits on our zeal: our hearts
In this with honest duty shall obey thee.
