Had told for ever

Thy feats of battle, and with glory crowned

Thy high endeavour.

ANTISTROPHE II.
Chorus.

Ah! would that thou hadst found thy end

There, where dear friend fell with friend,

And marched with them to Hades dread,

The monarch of the awful dead,[n28]

Sitting beside the throne with might

Of them that rule the realms of night;
