Dans un abîme affreux de douleurs et de peines
Language: French (Français) 
Récitatif
Héraclite
Dans un abîme affreux de douleurs et de peines,
Mon cœur est plongé nuit et jour.
Mille soins à l'aspect des miseres humaines,
Le troublent en secret, l’agitent tour à tour.
Et le sein de Titie au tenebreux séjour, 
Sans cesse dechiré par des Vautours avides, 
Resent moins vivement leurs fureurs homicides. 

Lentement
Pleurez mes tristes yeux, 
La nature sous de faux charmes, 
Ne m'offre qu’objets odieux. 
Repandez des torrens de larmes : 
Par ce secours officieux, 
Soulagez mes vives allarmes.
