“Inde per immensum croceo velatus amictu aethera digreditur Ciconumque Hymenaeus ad oras tendit et Orphea nequiquam voce vocatur. Adfuit ille quidem, sed nec sollemnia verba nec laetos vultus nec felix attulit omen; fax quoque, quam tenuit, lacrimoso stridula fumo usque fuit nullosque invenit motibus ignes. Exitus auspicio gravior: nam nupta per herbas dum nova naiadum turba comitata vagatur, occidit in talum serpentis dente recepto.” (Metamorphoses X.1–10) Sourced from Book X of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, this piece isolates the moment in which Eurydice is reclaimed by the underworld.
