Scene III.
(Enter Palcestra {on the shore).
Palaestra. Alas ! how much more misery comes to men, Than e'er is heard of in the tales we hear !
Was this the Gods' will ? ev'n apparelled thus, To be cast forth on shores we know not of In fear and trembling : miserable me !
Ah, was I then to such disaster born?
Is this the sad reward of piety?
If I had sinned towards parent, or towards God, This trouble had more easily been borne : But if my ways have been most circumspect, Then 'tis unjust, unfair..., extravagant That you the Gods should give me such a fate : What shall the guilty have for their reward If this is what the innocent receive ?
If I but knew my parents or myself Had sinned, I should not have complained at all, But 'tis my master only who has sinned : His fault I expiate, and he has lost His ship, and all his property at sea.
And these are what is left: ev'n she who came Upon the raft with me, has perished too.
And I alone am left. If only she Had but escaped, she would have soothed me now.
