Take these poor locks, and, full of mother love,800

Go speed thee to thy sire; and in his ear

Speak these, thy grieving mother's parting words:

"If still thy manes feel their former cares,

And on the pyre thy love was not consumed,

Why dost thou suffer thy Andromache

To serve a Grecian lord, O cruel Hector?

Why dost thou lie in careless indolence?805

Achilles has returned."

Take once again
