Ach, ach! Im Wechsel führt ein neues Leid
Ein Gott hier herauf!
Auch mir fiel, nachdem dieses vollendet ward, 1
Ein unselig todähnliches Lebensloos.
Dahin ist es, ja! dem Tod fiel es heim,
860
Das Haus meiner Fürsten; weh' über uns!
Damon, ist es möglich, sturze nicht das Haus,
Und mein Gebet erhdre! Denn, dem Seher gleich,
Erblick ich schon Vorboten eines Ungemachs.

Notes on the current edition

Hippolytus

1. This passage, as it stands, is unintelligible and corrupt. Paley attempts to extract meaning by changing μὲν into γ’ ἄν, but the result is not very satisfactory.
2. Nauck brackets the following three lines as spurious.
