Hecuba: O my daughter, I am still to live and be a slave.

Polyxena: Unwedded I depart, never having tasted the married joys
that were my due!

Hecuba: Thine, my daughter, is a piteous lot, and sad is mine also.

Polyxena: There in Hades' courts shall I be laid apart from thee.

Hecuba: Ah me, what shall I do? where shall I end my life?

Polyxena: Daughter of a free-born sire, a slave I am to die.

Hecuba: Not one of all my fifty children left!

Polyxena: What message can I take for thee to Hector or thy aged lord?

Hecuba: Tell them that of all women I am the most miserable.
