Agamemnon: What is thy desire? to be set free? that is easily done.

Hecuba: Not that; give me vengeance on the wicked, and evermore am
I willing to lead a life of slavery.

Agamemnon: Well, but why dost thou call me to thy aid?

Hecuba: 'Tis a matter thou little reckest of, O king. Dost see this
corpse, for whom my tears now flow?

Agamemnon: I do; but what is to follow, I cannot guess.

Hecuba: He was my child in days gone by; I bore him in my womb.

Agamemnon: Which of thy sons is he, poor sufferer?

Hecuba: Not one of Priam's race who fell 'neath Ilium's walls.
