Charioteer: O crue! stroke of fate. Woe, woe!

Chorus: Hush! be silent all! Crouch low, for maybe there cometh someone into the snare.

Charioteer: Oh, oh! dire mishap to the Thracian allies.

Chorus: Who is he that groans?

Charioteer: Alack, alack! Woe is me and woe is thee, O king of thrace!
How curst the sight of Troy to thee! how sad the blow that closed
thy life!

Chorus: Who art thou? an ally? which? night's gloom hath dulled these
eyes, I cannot clearly recognize thee.

Charioteer: Where can I find some Trojan chief? Where doth Hector
take his rest under arms? Alack and well-a-day! To which of the captains
of the host am I to tell my tale? What sufferings ours! What dark
deeds someone hath wrought on us and gone his way, when he had wound
up a clew of sorrow manifest to every Thracian!
