Who spied to find Achilles, and thro’ thee

Found him, alas! Thy Pyrrha was Achilles.

Chorus.

O daughter of Nereus old,1420

Queen of the nymphs that swim

By day in gleams of gold,

By night in the silver dim,

Forgive in pity, we pray,

Forgive the ill we have done.

Why didst thou hide this thing from us?
