Könnt' ich in Tiefen der Bergschluchten entfliehn, wo
Mit des Vogels raschem Fittig
Zu beflugelten Heerschaaren mich trug' ein Gott!
725
Daß ich könnte zu Adria's
Meeresflut mich erheben,
Hin zum Strom des Eridanos,
Wo von Helios' armen Tochtern, 1
Die Phaethon's Ende betrauern,
730
Hinab in die dunkle Brandung
Sich ergießt bernsteinschimmernder Thränenglanz!.
Gegenstrophe 1.

Notes on the current edition

Hippolytus

1. The daughters of Helios and Clymene are represented as weeping for Phaethon their brother on the banks of Eridanus (Po). Ovid Metam. v. 340 sqq. says the sun turned their tears into amber, and they themselves became poplars on the river-bank.
