238-313 Never, never will I say that marriage brings more Joy than grief, as I conjecture by the past and witness these misfortunes of our king, for he "when widowed of this noble wife will for the future lead a life that is no life at all.
Alc. O sun-god, lainp of day ! O scudding clouds that dance along the sky !
Adm. He sees us both with anguish bowed, albeit guiltless of any crime against the gods, for the which thy death is due.
Alc. O earth, O sheltering roof, and ye my maiden chambers in... my native land lolcos !
Adm. Lift thyself, unhappy wife, forsake me not ; entreat the mighty gods to pity us.
Alc. I see the two-oared skiff, I see it; and Charon, death's ferryman, his hand upon the boatman's pole, is calling me e'en now, " Why lingerest thou ? Hasten. Thou art keeping me." Thus in his eager haste he hurries me.
Adm. Ah me ! bitter to me is this voyage thou speakest of. ^' Unhappy wife, what woes are ours !
Alc. One draws me, draws me hence, seest thou not ?
to the courts of death, winged Hades glaring from beneath his dark brows.
