  1. Ah me, the nuptials, the nuptials of Paris, the deadly to friends!
  2. Ah me, of Skamandros the draught
  3. Paternal! There once, to these ends,
  4. On thy banks was I brought,
  5. The unhappy! And now, by Kokutos and Acheron’s shore
  6. I shall soon be, it seems, these my oracles singing once more!
CHOROS.
  1. Why this word, plain too much,
  2. Hast thou uttered? A babe might learn of such!
