Chorus

See, how like their father’s sternly flash these children’s eyes! Misfortune has not failed his children, nor yet has his comeliness been denied them.

O seht, wie, des Vaters Blicken gleich, der Söhne Blick

Strahlt in wilder Glut!

Und auch im Ungluck welkte nicht der Kinder Reiz,¹

Nicht der Anmuth holdes Bild.

Hellas, ha! Welche Kampfhelden, welche

Verlierst du, raubt man diese dir!
