Chorus
I grieve as I hear the many misfortunes that are now, and are yet to be, the lot of the barbarians. Atossa
[845] O God! How much grief assails me! But most of all this sorrow wounds me, to hear of the shameful clothes which are now worn by my son. But I will depart, and when I have brought appropriate garments from the palace, [850] I will make attempt to meet my son; for I will not forsake him whom I love so well in his affliction.Exit
