Vor den Mauern lagert hier
Nun der wilde Schlachtengott,
240
Und entflammt (o wehrt es ab,
Gotter!) blut'gen Krieg der Stadt.
Freundesleid ja theilt der Freund;
Wenn die siebenthorige
Stadt ein Ungemach erfuhr,
245
Trauert auch Phönike's Land:
Denn wir sind aus Einem Blute,
Beide Sprossen der gehörnten Jo;
Unser ist auch dieser Schmerz.
Gegenstrophe 2.
