Hecuba<br />
All in smoke.<br />
Andromache<br />
Oh husb<strong>and</strong>, husb<strong>and</strong>, come to me!<br />
Hecuba<br />
Poor thing, you call for my son,<br />
But he’s dead.<br />
Andromache<br />
Defend your wife!<br />
You who shamed the Greeks…<br />
Hecuba<br />
You were the first child<br />
That I bore to Priam,<br />
Andromache<br />
Carry me off to Hades.<br />
I long so for death…<br />
Poor woman, this is the pain we suffer.<br />
Hecuba<br />
Our city gone…<br />
Andromache<br />
Hecuba<br />
Pain heaped on pain.<br />
The gods hate us,<br />
Because your other son<br />
Escaped death;<br />
He destroyed lofty Troy<br />
For the sake of his loathsome lust.<br />
Food for the vultures,<br />
Andromache<br />
