[*]Falling for fallen lord,

[*]Here by the tomb that shuts out good and ill,—

Here, where the full libations have been poured

That turn aside the curse men deprecate,

Hear me, O Thou my Dread,

150

Hear thou, O Sire, the words my dark mind speaks!

Antistrophe

Oh, woe is me, woe, woe!

Woe, woe, and woe is me!
