Rush blindfold on an unconsulted deed?
7th Chorus.
Thou speakest well. If he indeed be dead,
Our words are vain to bring him back from Hades.
8th Chorus.
Shall we submit to drag a weary life
Beneath the shameless tyrants of this house?
9th Chorus.
Unbearable! and better far to die!
Death is a gentler lord than tyranny.
