And sorrowing dogs trace out their master's limbs.

But not as yet has all this careful toil

Of grieving friends sufficed to gather all.1110

And has it come to this, that glorious form?

But now the partner of his father's realm,

And his acknowledged heir, illustrious youth,

Who shone refulgent like the stars—behold

His scattered fragments for the funeral pile

They gather up and heap them on the bier!

Theseus: O mother Nature, all too potent thou!
