set apart for Zeus! There is thy husbands body, vanquished by the blazing bolt.
1012
Evadne
Lifes goal I now behold from my station here; may fortune aid me in my headlong leap from this rock
in honours cause, down into the fire below, to mix my ashes
in the ruddy blaze
with my husbands, to lay me side by side with him, there in the couch of Persephone; for neer will I, to save my life, prove untrue to thee where thou liest in thy grave.
Away with life and marriage too! Oh![*] may my children live to see the dawn of a fairer, happier wedding-day in Argos! May loyalty inspire the husbands heart,
his nature fusing with his wifes!
1031
Chorus
Lo! the aged Iphis, thy father, draweth nigh to hear thy startling scheme, which yet he knows not and will grieve to learn.
Iphis
Unhappy child! lo! I am come, a poor old man,
