Alcestis

One draws me, draws me hence, seest thou not?

to the courts of death, winged Hades glaring from beneath his dark brows. What wilt thou with me? Unhand me. On what a journey am I setting out, most wretched woman I!

Er führt, er führt mich (o sichst du nicht?) in das Haus der Todten,

Aus düstern Brauen blickt er vor, der schwarzbeschwingte Hades.

Ha, was willst du? D laß mich,
255

Die Bedrängte! Welcherlei Pfade wandl' ich?
