"Time will appease thee: who is dead is naught."
"Take me with thee—take, by the Gods below!"
"We are sufficient, we who die for thee."
"O Powers, ye widow me of what a wife!"
"And truly the dimmed eye draws earthward now!"
"Wife, if thou leav'st me, I am lost indeed!"
"She once was—now is nothing, thou mayst say."
"Raise thy face, nor forsake thy children thus!"
"Ah, willingly indeed I leave them not!
But—fare ye well, my children!"
