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,

Phil. 628, οὔκουν τάδ', ὦ παῖ, δεινά; The reference to Ismene's information in 378, foll., which Reisig and Hermann supposed, would be too obscure.

1171. mvp-comment-631-2 ὁ προστάτης The suppliant. The word occurs in this sense only here and in 1278. But cp. El. 1378, λιπαρεῖ προὔστην χερί. CC2
