HECUBA, CHORUS.

CHOR. Hast thou, my honoured mistress, caught the Thracian,

Over this treacherous friend hast thou prevailed,

And all thy threats accomplished?

HEC. Ye shall see him

Before the tent, without delay, deprived

Of sight, advancing with unsteady foot,

And the two breathless corses of his sons,

Whom I, assisted by the noblest matrons

Of Troy, have slain. Th’ atonement he hath paid

To my revenge, is just. But now behold

He issues forth: I will retire and shun

The Thracian chief’s unconquerable rage.
