Child
Alas for our fate! Our mother has gone below: no more, [395] Father, is she in the light of the sun, and she has left me an orphan. Look at her eyes and slackened arms. [400] Listen to me, Mother, listen, I implore you, it is I, Mother, I, your little one falling upon your lips, who call your name!
Euripides. Euripides, with an English translation by David Kovacs. Cambridge. Harvard University Press. 1994.
