Nuntius
Et ipse stupeo; attamen spe mulceor, illam, audita filii nece, urbem non incensuram questibus, sed interiorem domo famulis edicturam, ut privatim lessum lamentando faciant: consilii enim non ita expers est, ut quidquam hac in re peccet.

Ah! look where sadly comes our lord the King,
Bearing upon his arm a monument—
If we may speak it—of no foreign woe,
But of his own infirmity the fruit.

Chorus
\Exit Messengek. 1257
But lo ! the king himself : and in his arms
See his dead son, the monument accursed
Of his sad fate, which, may we say unblamed,
Sprang not from others' guilt, but from his own.

I know not; but to me, at least, a strained silence seems to portend peril, no less than vain abundance of lament.

1118. mvp-comment-645-1 κλυτὰν .. Ἰταλίαν The mention of Italy is singular, but hardly more so than that of Naxos in connection with Dionysus. The aim of the song being to celebrate the universality of his empire, it is not wonderful that allusion should be made to Italy, quam gravidae fruges et Bacchi Massicus humor Implevere, Virg. Georg. 2. 143. And if Italy was mentioned by Sophocles in the Triptolemus in connection with Demeter, why not here in connection with Bacchus? Fr. 540 N. Ut..
