Eumelus
O father, I am but a child to have my loving mother leave me here alone; O cruel my fate, alas!
and thine, my sister, sharer in my cup of woe. Woe to thee, father! in vain, in vain didst thou take a wife and hast not reached the goal of eld with her; for she is gone before, and now that thou art dead,
410
my mother, our house is all undone.
