Children
Your sons are dead and gone. Alas, father!
[1140]
dead and gone.
Chorus
The boundless air now wraps them round, turned to ashes by the flame; they have winged their flight to Hades.
Children
Father, do you hear your children's lamentation? Shall I ever, arrayed as a warrior, avenge
[1145]
your slaughter—if it may be so—and beget children?
