Thee too, O King, hath she taken
And bound in her tenfold chain;
Yet faint not, neither complain;
The dead thou wilt not awaken
For all thy weeping again.
They perish, whom gods begot;
The night releaseth them not.
Beloved was she that died
And dear shall ever abide.
For this was the queen among women, Admetus, that lay by thy side.
Nor as the multitude lowly,
Asleep in their sepulchres,
Not as their grave be hers,
But like as the gods held holy,
The worship of wayfarers.
Yea, all that travel the way
Far off shall see it and say,
Lo, erst for her lord she died,
To-day she sitteth enskied;
Hail, lady, be gracious to usward; that always her honour abide.
– Euripides, from Alcestis, translated by A.E. Housman (before 1936)
