Ah! ah! woe is me! foully undone by an impious fathers impious imprecation!
Undone, undone! woe is me! Through my head shoot fearful pains; my brain throbs convulsively. Stop, let me rest my worn-out frame.Oh, oh!
Accursed steeds, that mine own hand did feed, ye have been my ruin and my death. O by the gods, good sirs, I beseech ye, softly touch my wounded limbs.
Who stands there at my right side? Lift me tenderly; with slow and even step conduct a poor wretch cursed by his mistaken sire. Great Zeus, dost thou see this? Me thy reverent worshipper,
me who left all men behind in purity, plunged thus into yawning Hades neath the earth, reft of life; in vain the toils I have endured through my piety towards mankind.
1370
Hippolytus
Ah me! ah me! O the thrill of anguish shooting through me! Set me down, poor wretch I am; come Death to set me free! Kill me, end my sufferings.[*]
O for a sword two-edged to hack my flesh, and close this mortal life! Ill-fated curse of my father! the crimes of bloody kinsmen.[*] ancestors of old,
now pass their boundaries and tarry not, and upon me are they come all guiltless as I am; ah! why? Alas, alas!
what can I say? How from my life
get rid of this relentless agony? O that the stern Death-god, nights black visitant, would give my sufferings rest!
1389
Artemis
Poor sufferer! cruel the fate that links thee to it!
