The gift is hateful from his murderer's hand.

For this, this only favour let me sue,

If pity can to conquered foes be due,

Refuse it not; but let my body have

The last retreat of human kind, a grave.

Too well I know the insulting people's hate;

Protect me from their vengeance after fate:

}

{ This refuge for my poor remains provide,

{ And lay my much-loved Lausus by my side."
