Erinnys dread fulfils.

Strophe II

Semi-Chor. A. Yea, smitten through the heart,

Smitten through sides where flowed the blood of brothers.

Ah me! ye doomed of God!

Ah me! the curses dire

Of deaths ye met with each at other's hands!

Semi-Chor. B. Thou tell'st of men death-smitten through and through,

Both in their homes and lives,

With wrath beyond all speech,
