Chorus

Woe! woe is thee for thy piteous lot! thou hast done thyself a hurt deep enough to overthrow this family. Ah! ah! the daring of it! done to death by violence and unnatural means, the desperate effort

of thy own poor hand! Who cast the shadow o’er thy life, poor lady?
815

weh, wehe dir! Welch unerhdrtes Leid!

Arme, du litt'st, du that'st

So Schweres, daß dies ganze Haus in Trümmer stürzt!

Was, ach! wagtest Du? Gewalt war es, was
805

Dich in den Tod gerafft, ein unheilig Loos,

Gewalt deiner Hand!

Wer trübt', armes Weib, also das Leben dir?
