64 Ah! kind companion of my bondage, for such thou art to her, who, erst thy queen, is now sunk in misery; what are they doing? What new schemes are they devising in their eagerness to take away my wretched life? Maid ⁶⁸ Alas! poor lady, they intend to slay thy son, whom thou hast privily conveyed from out the house. Andromache ³⁴⁸ ay when seeking to betroth her to another? wilt say her virtue made her leave a worthless lord? Nay, that will be false. Who then will wed her? wilt thou keep her without a husband in thy halls, grown grey in widowhood? Unhappy wretch! dost not see the flood-gates of trouble opening wide for thee? ³⁵⁰ How many a wrong against a wife wouldst thou prefer thy daughter to have found to suffering what I now describe?

Many fell in the confusion; some wounded, and others trodden down by one another along the narrow passages; and in that hushed holy house uprose unholy din'¹¹⁴⁴ and they turned and fled like doves when they see the hawk. Many fell in the confusion; some wounded, and others trodden down by one another along the narrow passages; and in that hushed holy house uprose unholy din ¹¹⁴⁵ and echoed back from the rocks.
