Children
Some day, if the god is willing, shall the avenging of my father be my task.

Chorus
This evil does not yet sleep. Alas for my sorrows! I have enough ill-fortune, enough troubles.

Children
[1150] Asopus' laughing tide shall yet reflect my brazen arms as I lead on my Argive troops, to avenge my fallen father.
