O Hercules! Why art thou absent from me? -Dejanira recitative
The world, when day's career is run, - Dejanira aria

Iole - Ingela Bohlin, soprano,
Lichas - Malena Ernman, ?mezzo-soprano,

No longer, fate, relentless frown,
Preserve, great Jove, the hero's life.
With glory's wreath his actions crown,
And oh, restore him to his mourning wife!

The world, when day's career is run,
In darkness mourns the absent sun;
So I, deprived of that dear light
That warm'd my breast and cheer'd my sight,
Deplore in thickest gloom of grief
The absence of the valiant chief.
