Und schwerahndend lockt sie des Gerichtes Fluch
Wieder an sich heran, die mit dem Fremden gebuhlt,
Die den Gemahl, der spåt heimkehrt
Zu der Kyklopen himmelanstrebenden
1145
Mauern, mit scharfem Mordstahle, mit eigner Hand
Erschlug, hoch das Beil schwingend. Unseliger
Gemahl, daß er je solchem Weib, dem Scheusal, sich verband!
Schlußgesang.
Der Berglowin gleich, die durch den Eichenhain
Wuthend, verheerend streift, hat sie die That vollbracht!
