STROPHE II

_Chor._ My child, my child, the mighty jaws of fire[422]

Bind not the mood and spirit of the dead!

But e'en when that is past he shows his wrath.

When he that dies is wailed,

The murderer stands revealed: 320

The righteous cry for parents that begat,

To fullest utterance roused,

Searches the whole truth out.
