Alas, and woe! this is a bitter, bitter sight! This must be a judgment sent by God for the sins of an ancestor, which from some far source I am bringing on myself.
834
Chorus
My prince, tis not to thee alone such sorrows come;
thou hast lost a noble wife, but so have many others.
836
Theseus
Fain would I go hide me neath earths blackest depth, to dwell in darkness with the dead in misery, now that I am reft of thy dear presence! for thou hast slain me than thyself een more.
Who can tell me what caused the fatal stroke that reached thy heart, dear wife? Will no one tell me what befell?
doth my palace all in vain give shelter to a herd of menials? Woe, woe for thee, my wife! sorrows
past speech, past bearing, I behold within my house; myself a ruined man, my home a solitude, my children orphans!
Chorus
Gone[*] and left us hast thou, fondest wife and noblest of all women
neath the suns bright eye or nights star-lit radiance.[*]
852
Chorus
Poor house, what sorrows are thy portion now! My eyes are wet with streams of tears to see thy fate;
but the sequel to this tragedy has long with terror filled me.
