And utter shrill cries.
Chorus
This too I will do.
1060
Xerxes
And with your fingers tear the robe which drapes you.
Chorus
Anguish, anguish!
Xerxes
Pluck out your locks, and lament our host.
Chorus
With clenched nails, with clenched nails, with loud wailing.
Xerxes
Let tears moisten your eyes.
Chorus
I am drenched with tears.
1066
Xerxes
Cry aloud now in response to me.
Chorus
Alas, alas!
Xerxes
With sounds of wailing go to your homes.
Chorus
Alas, alas!
Xerxes
Alas! through the city.
Chorus
Alas, indeed!
Xerxes
Pour forth your wails as you move along with soft steps.
Chorus
Alas, alas, O Persian land, grievous now to walk upon!
Xerxes
Ah me!
Those that perished in three-tiered galleys, ah me!
Chorus
I will escort you with dismal sounds of woe. Exeunt omnes
