Χορός

οὐκ ἔστι λαθεῖν, ὅτε μὴ χρῄζων

θεὸς ἐκκλέπτει.
1245

τί ποτʼ, ὦ μελέα δέσποινα, μένει

ψυχῇ σε παθεῖν; ἆρα θέλουσαι

δρᾶσαί τι κακὸν τοὺς πέλας αὐταὶ

πεισόμεθʼ, ὥσπερ τὸ δίκαιον;

Chorus

No man may hide his guilt, save when some

god of his own will steals him away. Ah! my poor mistress! what suffering now awaits thy soul? Must then our wish to work another harm end in our own discomfiture, as justice doth decree?

Wie verbergen wir uns, wenn ein gnådiger Gott

Nicht selbst uns entrafft?

Was wartet auf dich Herzkrankendes noch,

Ungluckliche Herrin? Sollen nicht wir,
1225

Die den Andern ein Leid zu bereiten gedacht,

Nun selbst es erdulden, wie's recht ist?

Kreusa stürzt herbei. Der Chor.

Kreusa.
