Xer. Yea, with it mingle dark....

Chor. And bitter, grievous blows.

Strophe VII

Xer. Yea, beat thy breast, and cry

After the Mysian type.

Chor. Oh, misery! oh, misery!

Xer. Yea, tear the white hair off thy flowing beard.

Chor. Yea; with clenched hands, with clenchèd hands, I say,

In very piteous guise.
