Children: Thy sons are dead and gone. Poor mother! dead and gone;
the boundless air now wraps them round.

Chorus: Turned to ashes by the flame, they have winged their flight
to, Hades.

Children: Father, thou hearest thy children's lamentation; say, shall
I e'er, as warrior dight, avenge thy slaughter?

Chorus: God grant it, O my child

Children: Some day, if god so will, shall the avenging of my father
be my task; not yet this sorrow sleeps.

Chorus: Alas! Fortune's sorrows are enough for me, I have enough of
troubles now.

Children: Shall Asopus' laughing tide ever reflect my brazen arms
as I lead on my Argive troops?
