Learn now from me—and seek the Acheron.1200
[She falls upon her sword and dies.]
Theseus: Ye jaws of wan Avernus, and ye caves
Of Taenara, ye floods of Lethe's stream,

And plunge me deep in your eternal woes.
Now come, ye savage monsters of the deep,
Whatever Proteus hides within his caves,1205
And drown me in your pools, me who rejoice
