Mit Krieg und blut'gem Morde, mit meiner Palast' Einsturz.
Doch unter Thränen seufzt in dem stillen Gemach wohl auch
Am schonen Strom Eurotas manche Sparterbraut;
Und die Mutter gefall'ner Söhne,
640
Sie legt die Hand wohl an das greise Haupt,
Und zerfleischt sich im Schmerze
Die Wange, daß von Blut die Nägel triefen.
