- Yes, indeed, give them the right of vengeance for their father.
- You too, father, living below the earth through an unholy deed—
- And Lady Earth, to whom I give my hands—
- Defend, defend these, your dearest children.
- Now come and bring with you all the dead as allies.
- Those who destroyed the Trojans in war with you—
- And all who hate the unholy and polluted.
- Do you hear me, you who suffered dreadful things from my mother?
- Your father hears everything, I know; but it is time to be on our way.
