Alas! what doom, not of sharp extreme anguish, nor keeping to the couch, may come with speed, bringing upon us the endless sleep that is for ever, now that my most gracious guardian has been smitten down, and after having suffered much in a woman's cause? by a woman's hand too he lost his life.

No ſlow-consuming pains, to torture us
Fix'd to the groaning couch, await us now;
But Fate comes ruſhing on, and brings the ſleep
That wakes no more.
There lies the king, whoſe virtues
1640
Were truly royal. In a woman’s cauſe
He ſuffer'd much; and by a woman periſh’d.

Deh! Su noi scenda una súbita morte,
che senza tormento,
1690
che senza nel morbo giacere, ci rechi
un sonno senza mai fine, perenne,
ora che spento è il benigno mio duce,
dopo che tanto sofferse per una
donna; e una donna gli tolse la luce!

Ah woe and well-a-day! I would that Fate
1685
Not bearing agony too great,
Nor stretching me too long on couch of pain—
Would bid mine eyelids keep
The morningless and unawakening sleep! 1
For life is weary, now my lord is slain,
1690
The gracious among kings!
Hard fate of old he bore and many grievous things,
And for a woman's sake, on Ilian land—
Now is his life hewn down, and by a woman's hand.

O daß in Eile doch, ohne zu großen Schmerz,
Nicht uns fesselnd an's Lager,
1400
Der Tod sich uns nahte, ew'gen Schlafes
Ruhe zu bringen! Vermählt dem Staube,
Liegt er todt, der milde Hort,
Der vieles Leid unter Frau'ntücke litt,
Der durch Frau'ntücke nun den Geist verhaucht.
