Andromache: For a city burned with fire;

Hecuba: (It beateth, blow on blow.)

Andromache: God's wrath for Paris, thy son, that he died not long ago:

Who sold for his evil love
Troy and the towers thereof:
Therefore the dead men lie
Naked, beneath the eye
Of Pallas, and vultures croak
And flap for joy:
So Love hath laid his yoke
On the neck of Troy!

Hecuba

[Antistrophe 3.

O mine own land, my home,

Andromache: (I weep for thee, left forlorn,)

Hecuba: See'st thou what end is come?

Andromache: (And the house where my babes were born.)
