Chorus
[1082] None of the good willingly clouds his fair repute and becomes nameless by leading a corrupt life, my child. [1085] Similarly, you, too, have chosen a lifetime of shared mourning and have armed against dishonor, so that you might win in one breath a twofold praise as wise, and as the best of daughters.
