Euripides. The Rhesus of Euripides. Translated into English rhyming verse with explanatory notes by Gilbert Murray. Murray, Gilbert, translator. London: George Allen and Company, Ltd., 1913.

  1. No more of Troy.—Ye others, bear withal
  2. To Priam and the Elders of the Wall
  3. My charge, that, where the cart-road from the plain
  4. Branches, they make due burial for our slain.
One party of Guards lifts carefully the wounded THRACIAN and goes off bearing him: another departs with the message to Troy.
CHORUS.
  1. Back from the heights of happiness,
  2. Back, back, to labour and distress
  3. Some god that is not ours doth lead
  4. Troy and her sons; He sows the seed,
  5. Who knows the reaping?
  6. Ah! Ah!
