Ghost of Darius: How vain the succour, the defence of arms?

Atossa: In Bactra age and grief are only left.

Ghost of Darius: Ah, what a train of warlike youth is lost!

Atossa: Xerxes, astonished, desolate, alone-

Ghost of Darius: How will this end? Nay, pause not. Is he safe?

Atossa: Fled o'er the bridge, that join'd the adverse strands.

Ghost of Darius: And reach'd this shore in safety? Is this true?

Atossa: True are thy words, and not to be gainsay'd.
