Vanished before their brazen-beaked attack.
STROPHE III.
Chorus.
Sing ye, sing ye a sorrowful song,
Lift ye, lift ye a piercing cry!
Our harnessed throng and armies strong
Lost and ruined utterly!
Messenger.
O hated name to hear, sad Salamis!
O Athens, I remember thee with groans.
ANTISTROPHE III.
Chorus.
