O beflugle den Schritt: denn die Zeit drångt!
Hinein, hinein jezt, mit lauter Klage!
O weh, weh mir!
Armer Bruder, in welcher Stadt
Weilst du fluchtig, in welchem Haus, 1

Seit du dort in den Hallen des
Vaters im bittersten Ungemach
Trauernd ließest die Schwester?

Armen in dieser Noth,

(D Zeus!) rachtest des Vatermords
Gråuel, wenn dein irrender Fuß
Dich heimtrüge nach Argos!
