Must this poor maid be hurled from Ida's heights,

Or from the top of Ilium's citadel?

Must she be flung into the cruel sea930

That roars beneath this lofty precipice,

Which our Sigeum's rugged crag uprears?

Come, tell what thou dost hide with mimic grief.

In all our ills there's none so great as this,

That any princess of our royal house

Should wed with Pyrrhus. Speak thy dark intent;935

What further suffering remains to bear?
