Eumelus Monologue from Alcestis

From Alcestis by Euripides

male · dramatic · 1:08 min

Ah! Misery! Mother has gone, Gone to the Underworld! She lives no more, O my Father, In the sunlight. O sad one, You have left us To live motherless! See, Oh, see her eyelids And her drooping hands! Mother, Mother, Hearken to me, listen, I beseech you! I--I--Mother!-- I am calling to you, Your little bird fallen upon your face! Father, I am a child, And I am left Like a lonely ship By the mother I loved. Oh! The cruel things I suffer! And you, little sister, Suffer with me. O my Father, Vain, vain was your wedding, You did not walk with her To the end of old age. She died first; And your death, O Mother, Destroys our house.
