Chorus 2.

Hail, justice and river of fate back-turning with refluent roar!


Chorus 3.

(Str. 2)
Thou com'st at last to pay death's penalty— 740


Chorus 4.

For outrage done to better men than thee.


Chorus 5.

(Str. 3)
Gladness constraineth the fountain of tears from mine eyelids to start.


Chorus 6.

Come is the hour which the land's king never ere this in his heart
Foresaw,—retribution's vengeance-smart!


Chorus 7.

(Ant. 2)
Old friends, look ye within the halls, to see
Our soul's desire upon our enemy.


Lykus (within).

Ah me! Woe's me!


Chorus 8.

(Ant. 1)
Hark to the outburst!—as music it is for mine ears to hear 750
That strain ringing sweet through the halls: lo, death is exceeding near.
