Chorus
I forbid deadly and untimely fate for men; grant to lovely maidens life with a husband, you that have the rightful power; [960] you, divine Fates, our sisters by one mother, divinities who distribute justly, who have a share in every home, and whose righteous visitations press heavily at every season, [965] most honored everywhere among the gods!
Aeschylus. Aeschylus, with an English translation by Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. in two volumes. 2. Eumenides. Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. 1926.
