Ulysses: Ulysses' valor do the Grecians know
Full well, and all too well the Phrygians.
But we are wasting time with empty words.
The impatient ships are tugging at their chains.
Andromache: But grant a brief delay, while to my son760
I pay the rites of woe, and sate my grief
With tears and last embrace.
Ulysses: I would 'twere mine
To spare thy tears; but what alone I may,
I'll give thee respite and a time for grief.
