Where, gods! where lead me far-wandering courses?

In what sin, O son of Kronos,

In what sin ever having taken,

To these afflictions hast thou yoked me? alas! alas!

With fly-driven fear a wretched

Frenzied one dost thus afflict?

With fire burn, or with earth cover, or

To sea monsters give for food, nor

Envy me my prayers, king.

Enough much-wandered wanderings
