By the disasters of your comrades upon the sea.

Xerxes
Weep, weep over our calamity, and depart to your homes.
Chorus
Alas, alas, woe, woe!
Xerxes
Cry aloud now in response to me.
Chorus
A wretched offering from the wretched to the wretched.
Xerxes
Cry out, tuning your strain to mine.
Chorus
Oh, oh! That which has happened is grievous indeed.
Alas, for I too share in your sorrow.
1046
Xerxes
Strike, strike, and groan for my sake.
Chorus
I weep in lamentation!
Xerxes
Now cry aloud in response to me.
Chorus
This care, my lord, is mine.
Xerxes
Lift up your voice now in lamentation.
Chorus
Oh, oh! And with our wailing, alas, will be mingled bruising blows and shrieks of pain.
1054
Xerxes
Beat your breast too, and raise the Mysian wail.
Chorus
Anguish, anguish!
Xerxes
And tear, I beg of you, the white hair from your beard.
Chorus
With clenched nails, with clenched nails, with loud wailing.
