The man
Who heard thee say, Alcides' love for her,
And not the Lydian, laid the city waste.
Lie. Let him come forth and prove it. 'Tis no mark
Of wisdom thus to trifle with th' unhappy.

Entweder harre seiner dort der Tage Ziel,
So hieß es, oder wenn er sieg' in diesem Kampf,
80
Verfließ' in lautern Wonnen ihm des Lebens Rest.
Nun also seine Wage schwankt, so gehe, Kind,
Ihm beizustehen, da wir selbst gerettet sind,
Wenn er sich rettet, oder untergeh'n mit ihm.
