I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: My priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, While they sought them food to refresh their souls.

I sent for my lovers, but they were false to me: my priests and my responsible men were breathing their last breath in the town, while they were looking for food to give them new life.

Εκαλεσα τους αγαπωντας με, αλλ' αυτοι με ηπατησαν· οι ιερεις μου και οι πρεσβυτεροι μου εξεπνευσαν εν τη πολει, διοτι εζητησαν τροφην υπερ εαυτων δια να επανελθη η ψυχη αυτων.

I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
