Chorus
Therefore her mind is wrenched [765] by a terrible malady of unhallowed passion sent from Aphrodite; and sinking under a load of hard misfortune she will fasten about her from the beams of her bridal chamber [770] a hanging noose, fitting it about her white neck, feeling shame at her bitter fate, choosing in its stead the glory of a good name, and putting [775] from her heart her painful desire.
