Fourth Woman

Argos, belike, or Phthia shall it be,
Or some lone island of the tossing sea,
Far, far from Troy?

Hecuba

And I the aged, where go I,
A winter-frozen bee, a slave
Death-shapen, as the stones that lie
Hewn on a dead man's grave:
The children of mine enemy
To foster, or keep watch before
The threshold of a master's door,
I that was Queen in Troy!

A Woman to Another

[Strophe 2.

And thou, what tears can tell thy doom?

The Other

The shuttle still shall flit and change
Beneath my fingers, but the loom,
Sister, be strange.
