From such a fall, but broken, scattered bones,

Dismembered limbs, and all those noble signs

In face and feature of his royal birth,

Confused and crushed upon the ragged ground?

Who was thy son lies now a shapeless corse.1115

Andromache: Thus also is he like his noble sire.

Messenger: When headlong from the tower the lad had sprung,

And all the Grecian throng bewailed the crime

Which it had seen and done; that selfsame throng

Returned to witness yet another crime1120
