Chorus
And they who were first to meet their doom （alas!）, left behind by dire necessity （alas!）, [570] are swept along the Cychrean strand （woe!）. Groan and gnash your teeth; in grievous strain shout forth our woes till they reach the heavens （alas!）, raise high [575] your wailing clamor in cries of misery.
Aeschylus. Aeschylus, with an English translation by Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. in two volumes. 1. Persians. Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. 1926.
