Peleus: Childless, desolate, with no limit to my grief, I must drain
the cup of woe, until I die.

Chorus: 'Twas all in vain the gods wished thee joy on thy wedding
day.

Peleus: All my hopes have flown away, fallen short of my high boasts.

Chorus: A lonely dweller in a lonely home art thou.

Peleus: I have no city any longer; there! on the ground my sceptre
do cast; and thou, daughter of Nereus, 'neath thy dim grotto, shalt
see me grovelling in the dust, a ruined king.

Chorus: Look, look! (A dim form of divine appearance is seen hovering
mid air.) What is that moving? what influence divine am I conscious
of? Look, maidens, mark it well; see, yonder is some deity, wafted
through the lustrous air and alighting on the plains of Phthia, home
of steeds.
