Speak; for thou hast somewhat to tell that touches me.
Chorus
Then speak I will, though twice to die were mine. O mistress mine! never shalt thou hold a babe within thy arms or clasp him to thy breast.
Creusa
Ah me! would I were dead!
Old Servant
My daughter!
Creusa
O woe is me for my calamity! Mine is a heritage of suffering and woe that poisons life, good friends.
Old Servant
Ah, my child, tis death to us!
Creusa
Ah me! ah me! grief drives its weapon through this heart of mine.
Old Servant
Stay thy lamentations.
Creusa
Nay, but sorrow lodges here.
Old Servant
Till we learn
