Ad hunc modum vaticinata mulier acu crinali [ p . 366 ] capite deprompta Thrasylli convulnerat tota lumina eumque prorsus exoculatum relinquens , dum dolore i nescio crapulam cum somno discutit , arrepto nudo I gladio quo se Tlepolemus solebat incingere , per mediam civitatem cursu furioso proripit se , procul dubio nescioquod scelus gestiens et recta monimentum mariti contendit . At nos et omnis populus nudatis totis aedibus studiose consequimur , hortati mutuo ferrum vesanis extorquere manibus . Sed Charite capulum Tlepolemi propter assistens gladioque fulgenti singulos abigens , ubi fletus uberes et lamentationes varias cunctorum intuetur , ‘Abicite’ inquit , ‘Importunas lacrimas , abicite luctum meis virtutibus alienum . Vindicavi in mei mariti cruentum peremptorem , punita sum funestum mearum nuptiarum praedonem . Iam tempus est ut isto gladio deorsus ’ .
ad meum Tlepolemum viam quaeram . ’ Et enarratis ordine singulis quae sibi per somnium nuntiaverat maritus quoque astu Thrasyllum inductum petisset , ferro sub papillam dexteram transadacto corruit et in suo sibi pervolutata sanguine postremo balbutiens incerto sermone proflavit animam virilem . Tunc propere familiares miserae Charites accuratissime corpus ablutum unita sepultura ibidem marito perpetuam coniugem reddidere . Thrasyllus vero cognitis omnibus , nequiens idoneum exitum praesenti cladi [ p . 368 ] reddere certusque tanto facinori nec gladium sufficere , sponte delatus ibidem ad sepulchrum , ‘Ultronea vobis , infesti Manes , en adest victima’ saepe clamitans , valvis super sese diligenter obseratis inedia statuit elidere sua sententia damnatum spiritum .

Foreshadowing
her
action
with
her
words
,
she
now
took
a
pin
from
her
hair
,
and
drove
it
through
Thrasyllus’
eyeballs
,
leaving
him
blind
and
rising
now
from
sleep
and
drunkenness
to
inexpressible
pain
.
Then
grasping
the
naked
sword
which
Tlepolemus
once
used
to
arm
himself
,
she
ran
wildly
through
the
streets
,
making
for
her
husband’s
tomb
,
clearly
intending
to
do
herself
harm
.
All
the
people
poured
from
their
houses
,
and
we
pursued
her
,
urging
each
other
on
to
wrest
the
weapon
from
her
hands
.
But
,
at
the
grave
,
Charite
kept
us
all
at
bay
with
that
gleaming
blade
.
Seeing
how
copiously
we
wept
and
variously
lamented
,
she
cried
out
:
"
Quench
your
untimely
tears
!
Don’t
grieve
for
me
,
in
ways
ill-suited
to
my
virtuous
deed
,
who
have
found
vengeance
for
my
husband’s
foul
murder
,
by
punishing
a
man
who
sought
to
destroy
the
sanctity
of
marriage
.
Soon
I
must
seek
with
this
sword
the
road
to
my
dear
husband
.

She told us then all the things that his ghost had told to her in dream , and the cunning way she had trapped Thrasyllus and harmed him , then she plunged the sword into her left breast , and fell in her own blood , murmuring incoherent words as she bravely breathed her last . It was left to Charite’s friends to bathe her body tenderly then swiftly lay her beside her husband , his eternal partner in a shared tomb .
