Lead me away, I pray you; a rash, foolish 1340 man; who have slain thee, ah my son, unwittingly, and thee, too, my wife—unhappy that I am! I know not which way I should bend my gaze, or where I should seek support ; for all is amiss with that which is in my hands,—and yonder, again, a crushing fate hath leapt upon my head.

Echad de aquí a un hombre inútil, que, ¡ay, hijo!, te maté sin querer; y a ésta también. ¡Pobre de mí! No sé hacia qué lado deba inclinarme, porque todo lo que tocan mis manos se vuelve contra mí; sobre mi cabeza descargó intolerable fatalidad.

Abducite procul hominem miserum, qui te, o fili, imprudens occidi, quique te etiam, uxor (heu me miserum!), neque scio, quo ad quem respiciam.
Omne sub terra; omnia enim perversa, quae manibus teneo, quaeque capiti meo impendent, intolerabile fatum invexit.

Take me away, the vain-proud man that slew
Thee, O my son! unwittingly,—and thee!

Me miserable, which way shall I turn,
Which look upon? Since all that I can touch
Is falling,—falling,—round me, and o’erhead
1345
Intolerable destiny descends.

Der dir nicht mit Willen den Tod gab, o Sohn,

Noch dir, Gattin! Weh! Ich weiß nicht, wohin
Ich schau'n soll zuerst. Es wankt Alles, wankt,
Was mir zu Händen, was über dem Haupte mir:
Auf mich brach das Schicksal graunvoll herein.

Advance, advance, appear thou last and best
Of all my fortunes; bring my final day l
Haste, that another day I ne'er may see nod
These things are future, leave them to the gods.

But what is present how must we dispose

But what I warmly wish I made my pray'r..
Make now no wish, no pray'r: to mortal man
There is no refuge from his destined woe od
Take hence this lifeless shadow. Omy song
I slew thee, but I purposed not thy death biol
Thee too, my wife, I slew. Unhappy me!!

Ah, which way shall I turn? where rest my thoughts?

All is distraction, all is ruin: fate
Bursts on my head, resistless in its force
