Χορός

— φεῦ φεῦ· τόδ’ αὖ νεοχμὸν ἐκδοχαῖς

ἐπιφέρει θεὸς κακόν. ἐμοὶ μὲν οὖν

ἀβίοτος βίου τύχα πρὸς τὸ κρανθέν· εἴη τυχεῖν.

— ὀλομένους γάρ, οὐκέτ’ ὄντας λέγω,

φεῦ φεῦ, τῶν ἐμῶν τυράννων δόμους.
870

— ὦ δαῖμον, εἴ πως ἔστι, μὴ σφήλῃς δόμους,

αἰτουμένης δὲ κλῦθί μου· πρὸς γάρ τινος

οἰωνὸν ὥστε μάντις εἰσορῶ κακοῦ.

Chorus

Woe unto us! Here is yet another evil in the train by heaven sent. Looking to what has happened, I should count my lot in life no longer worth one’s while to gain.¹ My master’s house,

alas! is ruined, brought to naught, I say. ²Spare it, O Heaven, if it may be. Hearken to my prayer, for I see, as with prophetic eye, an omen boding mischief.
870

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.
