O Licht, o strahlend Viergespann des Helios,
O Erd', o Dunkel, das zuvor mein Aug' umfing!
855
Nun schlag' ich frei zum Aether dieses Aug' empor,
Nachdem Aegisthos, meines Vaters Mörder, fiel.
Auf, Liebe, was ich habe, was mein Haus bewahrt,
Sein Lockenhaar zu schmucken, hol' ich jezt heraus,
Und kränze meines Bruders siegbekröntes Haupt!
