EURIPIDES.

Hecuba.

The earthquake thereof shall engulf the town!—
O sorrow's crown!
O tottering, tottering limbs, upbear
My steps; to the life of bondage fare. 1330


Chorus.

O hapless Troy!—Yet down to the strand
And the galleys Achaian thy feet must strain.


Hecuba.

O land—of my children the nursing-land!


Chorus.

Woe!—wail the refrain!

[Exeunt omnes.
