the great god Phoebus with aiming that murderous shaft that spilt thy hero-fathers blood![*]
1197
Chorus
Woe! woe! alas! With due observance of funeral rites will I begin the mourning for my dead master.
Peleus
Alack and well-a-day! I take up the tearful dirge, ah me! old and wretched as I am.
Chorus
Tis Heavens decree; God willed this heavy stroke.
Peleus
O darling child,
thou hast left me all alone in my halls,[*] old and childless by thy loss.
Chorus
Thou shouldst have died, old sire, before thy children.
Peleus
Shall I not tear my hair,
and smite upon my head with grievous blows? O city! of both my children[*] hath Phoebus robbed me.
1214
Chorus
What evils thou hast suffered, what sorrows thou hast seen, thou poor old man!
what shall be thy life hereafter?
Peleus
Childless, desolate, with no limit to my grief, I must drain the cup of woe, until I die.
Chorus
Twas all in vain the gods wished thee joy on thy wedding day.[*]
Peleus
All my hopes have flown away,
fallen short of my high boasts.
Chorus
A lonely dweller in a lonely home art thou.
Peleus
I have no city any longer;[*] there! on the ground
my sceptre do I cast; and thou, daughter of Nereus, neath thy dim grotto,
