Without one pitying ſigh t' entomb the king
Unhonour'd with his people’s grief, the husband
Without a tear to grace his obsequies.

Wehe, du Arge,
430 was wagtest du, Mutter?
Den argen Hohn der Bestattung.
Kein Zug der Bürger,
kein Trauergefolge,
kein Wehruf hat ihn geleitet,

Aweless in hate, O mother, sternly brave!
As in a foeman's grave
Thou laid'st in earth a king, but to the bier
No citizen drew near,—
505
Thy husband, thine, yet for his obsequies,
Thou bad'st no wail arise!

O Graun! Feindliche,
Ruchlose Mutter, wie der Feind den Feind begräbt,
Begrubst du frech deinen Herrn
Ohn' all Gefolg', unbeweint,
Ohn' alle Wehklage deinen Gatten.
