Wandering, still wandering o’er wide Earth, and driven

Where? where? O tell me where?

O Son of Kronos, in what damned sin

Being caught hast thou to misery yoked me thus,

Pricked me to desperation, and my heart

Pierced with thy furious goads?

Blast me with lightnings! bury me in Earth! To the gape

Of greedy sea-monsters give me! Hear, O hear

My prayer, O King!

Enough, enough, these errant toils have tried me;
