Xerxes
Weep, weep over our calamity, and depart to your homes. Chorus
Alas, alas, woe, woe! Xerxes
[1040] Cry aloud now in response to me. Chorus
A wretched offering from the wretched to the wretched. Xerxes
Cry out, tuning your strain to mine. Chorus
Oh, oh! That which has happened is grievous indeed. [1045] Alas, for I too share in your sorrow.
