Thou say'st that they are drifted to and fro

[*]In far out-floating garments.[[29]]

Mess. E'en so; our bows availed not, but the host

Has perished, conquered by the clash of ships.

Strophe III

Chor. Wail, raise a bitter cry

280

And full of woe, for those who died in fight.

How every way the Gods have wrought out ill,

Ah me! ah me, our army all destroyed.
