With wrath unsated.

Not without Jove, Jove cause and end of all,

Nor working vainly.

Comes no event but with high sway the gods

Have ruled it plainly.

STROPHE V.
Chorus.

O the king! the king! for thee

Tears in vain my cheek shall furrow,

Words in vain shall voice my sorrow!

As in a spider’s web thou liest;
