Χορός

ἄιες ὤ, ἔκλυες ὤ,

ἀνήκουστα τᾶς

τυράννου πάθεα μέλεα θρεομένας;

— ὀλοίμαν ἔγωγε, πρὶν σὰν φιλίαν

κατανύσαι φρενῶν. ἰώ μοι, φεῦ φεῦ.
365

— ὦ τάλαινα τῶνδ’ ἀλγέων·

— ὦ πόνοι τρέφοντες βροτούς.

— ὄλωλας, ἐξέφηνας ἐς φάος κακά.

— τίς σε παναμέριος ὅδε χρόνος μένει;

— τελευτάσεταί τι καινὸν δόμοις.
370

— ἄσημα δ’ οὐκέτ’ ἐστὶν οἷ φθίνει τύχα

Κύπριδος, ὦ τάλαινα παῖ Κρησία.

Chorus

O, too clearly didst thou hear our queen uplift her voice to tell her startling tale of piteous suffering. Come death ere I reach thy state of feeling,¹ loved mistress.

O horrible! woe, for these miseries! woe, for the sorrows on which mortals feed! Thou art undone! thou hast disclosed thy sin to heaven’s light. What hath each passing day and every hour in store for thee?
365

Some strange event will come to pass in this house. For it is no longer uncertain where the star of thy love is setting, thou hapless daughter² of Crete.

Hortest, ach! hortest du's,

Wie das Unnennbare,

Ihr unselig Leid die Königinn gestand?

Der Tod treffe mich, bevor, Theure, du¹

Endest in Wahnsinn! Ach! I weh, wehe mir!
365

Arme, daß du so dulden mußt!

Ach, die Menschen nährt Angst und Noth!

Verlorne, Boses zogest du hervor an's Licht!

Welche Bedrängniß harrt nun ohn' Ende dein?²

Ein graunvolles Leid bedroht dieses Haus.
370

Nicht långer ist es dunkel, wo der Liebe Loos

Endet: o wehe, Kreta's unglucklich Kind!
