Why vex thy heart with what is over and done?
Do what we may, this ne’er will alter now.
Child of Laërtes old,
Thou that dost still behold
And still contrive all shapes of monstrous ill,
Winding in foulest ways
Through the army’s sinful maze,—
Now even for pleasure thou may’st laugh thy fill.

Unhappy me, who let those fiends accursed
Escape my hands, and falling with wild rage
On the fair herds distain'd my sword with blood!
