Neoptolemus
\turnin(j to Neoptolemus (For now to thee I speak), remember this. 1445
Once more to let me hear that wished-for voice,
To see thee after so long time, was bliss
I could not hope for. Oh ! I will obey
Thy great commands most willingly.

Da schmachvollen Hohn ihm des Atreus Geschlecht bot,

Den Stierwürgern, thront!
