Polyxena: Ah! bosom and breasts that fed me with sweet food!

Hecuba: Woe is thee, my child, for this untimely fate!

Polyxena: Farewell, my mother! farewell, Cassandra!

Hecuba: "Fare well!" others do, but not thy mother, no!

Polyxena: Thou too, my brother Polydorus, who art in Thrace, the home
of steeds!

Hecuba: Aye, if he lives, which much I doubt; so luckless am I every
way.

Polyxena: Oh yes, he lives; and, when thou diest, he will close thine
eyes.

Hecuba: I am dead; sorrow has forestalled death here.
