Do you see this remnant of my royal robe?

Yes, I do indeed.
Xerxes
And this quiver
Chorus
What is this you say has been saved?

Treasury for shafts?

Truly a small remnant from an ample store.

We have been deprived of defenders.

Ionias people shrink not from the spear.

They are a war-like people. I have lived to behold a calamity I never expected.

Are you speaking of the routed multitude which manned your ships?

And I rent my robe at the disastrous event.
Chorus
Alas, alas!
Xerxes
No, far worse than alas.
Chorus
Yes, for twofold and threefold
Xerxes
Pain to us, but exultation to our enemies

Yes, and our strength has been maimed.

I am stripped of my escort.
