Is now bewail'd in ev'ry house of Troy.
Sorrow unutterable thou hast caused
Thy parents, Hector! but to me hast left
Largest bequest of misery, to whom,
Dying, thou neither didst thy arms extend
Forth from thy bed, nor gav'st me precious word,
To be remember'd day and night with tears.
So spake she weeping, whom her maidens all
With sighs accompanied.
(Hecuba takes up the lament.)
