Stasimon 3

[Choral 4]

May the people who control the state guard its privileges free from fear—

Chorus

a prudent government counselling wisely for the public prosperity. And should they have recourse to arms may they inflict no loss, but grant just rights of covenant to the stranger within their gates. 700

And may they worship forever the gods who possess the land

with native honors of laurel bough held aloft, and oxen slain, even as their fathers did before their time. Since reverence for parents stands written third among the statutes of Justice, to whom honor supreme is due. 705
