Antistrophe V

Xer. Yea, very brave are they, and I have seen
Unlooked-for woe.

Chor. Wilt tell of squadron of our sea-borne ships
Defeated utterly?

Xer. I tore my robes at this calamity.

Chor. Ah me, ah me, ah me.

Xer. Ay, more than all 'ah me's'!

Chor. Twofold and threefold ills!

Xer. Grievous to us – but joy,
Great joy, to all our foes!

Chor. Lopped off is all our strength.

Xer. Stripped bare of escort I!

Chor. Yea, by sore loss at sea
Disastrous to thy friends.

Strophe VI

Xer. Weep for our sorrow, weep,
Yea, go ye to the house.

Chor. Woe for our griefs, woe, woe!

Xer. Cry out an echoing cry.

Chor. Ill gift of ills on ills.

Xer. Weep on in wailing chant.

Chor. Oh! ah! Oh! ah!

Xer. Grievous our bitter woes.

Chor. Ah me, I mourn them sore.

Antistrophe VI

Xer. Ply, ply your hands and groan;
Yea, for my sake bewail.

Chor. I weep in bitter grief.

Xer. Cry out an echoing cry.

Chor. Yea, we may raise our voice,
O Lord and King, in wail.

Xer. Raise now shrill cry of woe.

Chor. Ah me! Ah! Woe is me!

Xer. Yea, with it mingle dark…

Chor. And bitter, grievous blows.

Strophe VII

Xer. Yea, beat thy breast, and cry
After the Mysian type.

Chor. Oh, misery! oh, misery!

Xer. Yea, tear the white hair off thy flowing beard.

Chor. Yea; with clenched hands, with clenchèd hands, I say,
In very piteous guise.

Xer. Cry out, cry out aloud.
Chor. That also will I do.

Antistrophe VII

Xer. And with thy fingers tear
Thy bosom's folded robe.

Chor. Oh, misery! oh, misery!

Xer. Yea, tear thy hair in wailing for our host.

Chor. Yea, with clenched hands, I say, with clenchèd hands,
In very piteous guise.

Xer. Be thine eyes wet with tears.

Chor. Behold the tears stream down.

Epode

Xer. Raise a re-echoing cry.
