Oh, whither shall I hide me from their rage?
Death is the only haven left to me.
By gleaming Phoebus' fiery disk I swear,
By all the gods of heaven: I go to death,
But leave Alcides still upon the earth.
[She rushes from the scene.]
Hyllus: Ah me, in mood of frenzy has she fled.
My mother's part in this sad tragedy1025
Is self-assigned; she is resolved to die.
My part remains to thwart her dread resolve.
