Chorus
1462
Awfully dreadful is this deep'ning roar
Roll'd by the hand of Jove: my hoary hairs
Are rais'd through horror upright on my head, CH
And my soul sinks within me. There again
1465
The rapid lightening flames along the sky
1465
What terrible event doth this portend?
The dread of it appals me: not in vain,
Not unpredictive of some dreadful fate
These thunders roll. - Almighty Jove! again
1470
Wide through th' ethereal vault of heav'n they roll,

402. mvp-comment-220-1 The difficulty of interpreting this line has arisen from not observing that the dative is governed of δυστυχῶν (= δυστυχῶς γιγνόμενος) as well as of βαρύς. Cp. supr. 308. Your burial, happening in a way unfortunate for them, is a danger to them.' According to this rendering, the point of the reply is obvious enough. It needs no divine intimation to teach us this.'
