Oh, what has
happened?
Euripides - Alcestis
What? Dying!
ALCESTIS.
Farewell, husband! [_She dies. _]
ADMETUS (_with a cry_).
Ah! . . . Woe, woe!
LEADER.
Admetus' Queen is dead!
[_While_ ADMETUS _is weeping silently, and the_ CHORUS _veil
their faces, the_ LITTLE BOY _runs up to his dead Mother_. ]
LITTLE BOY.
Oh, what has happened? Mummy has gone away,
And left me and will not come back any more!
Father, I shall be lonely all the day. . . .
Look! Look! Her eyes . . . and her arms not like before,
How they lie . . .
Mother! Oh, speak a word!
