  1. In the belly is bred: ere ended quite
  2. Is the elder throe — new ichor!
CHOROS.
  1. Certainly, great of might
  2. And heavy of wrath, the Sprite
  3. Thou tellest of, in the palace
  4. (Woe, woe!)
  5. — An evil tale of a fate
  6. By Até’s malice
  7. Rendered insatiate!
  1. Oh, oh, —
  2. King, king, how shall I beweep thee?
  3. From friendly soul whatever say?
  4. Thou liest where webs of the spider o’ersweep thee
  5. In impious death, life breathing away.
  6. O me — me!
  7. This couch, not free.
