And thou, whose chariot mounts up the steep sky, Thou Sun, when on the land where I was born Thou shalt look down, check thy gold-spangled rein.
And announce my disasters and my doom To my aged sire and her who nurtured me.
She, woful woman, when she hears these tidings Will wail out a loud dirge through all the town.
But I waste labour with this idle moan.
36 The act must now be done, and that with speed.
O Death, Death, come now and look upon me. — No, 'tis there I shall meet and speak to the...e.
But thee, bright daylight which I now behold.
And Helios in his chariot I accost For this last time of all, and then no more.
sunlight ! thou hallowed soil, my own Salamis, stablished seat of my sire's hearth.
And famous Athens, with thy kindred race, And you, ye springs and streams, and Trojan plains, Farewell, all ye who have sustained my life.
This is the last word Aias speaks to you.
All else in Hades to the dead will I say. y [He falls upon his sword.] [Enter Semi-Chorus f.] SEMI-CHORUS I 'Tis toil on toil, and toil again.
