Still radiant from the Ten Years’ war;

Or blazon there the Titan race

Beneath the Thunderer’s wrath oppressed,

And every godlike head declining

Upon the thunder-blasted breast.

ANTISTROPHE II.

Alas my people, and alas

My fathers, and my country’s shore!

And thou, O Troy—’tis Fate’s decree—

Farewell! I see thy face no more!
