Thou Cyprian, long shall I remember thee!

CHORUS
On all this folk, both low and high,
A grief hath fallen beyond men's fears.
There cometh a throbbing of many tears,
A sound as of waters falling.
For when great men die,
A mighty name and a bitter cry
Rise up from a nation calling.
[_They move into the Castle, carrying the body of_ HIPPOLYTUS.]
