Soon has the god changed his good fortune; soon will his children breathe their last, slain by a fathers hand.
Amphitryon
Ah me! alas!
Chorus
O Zeus, unjust Vengeance, mad, relentless, will soon give your childless son
up to misery.
Amphitryon
Alas, O house!
Chorus
The dance begins without the cymbals crash, with no glad waving of the wine-gods staff
Amphitryon
Woe to these halls!
Chorus
Toward bloodshed,
and not to pour libations of Dionysus grape.
Amphitryon
O children, make haste to fly!
Chorus
That is the chant of death, of death, to the music of pipes.
