Behold me journeying on the downward path, my hands so tightly bound with cords that they bleed.
Molossus
O mother, mother mine! I too share thy
downward path, nestling ’neath thy wing.
Andromache
A cruel sacrifice! ye rulers of Phthia!
Molossus
Come, father! succour those thou lovest.
Andromache
Rest[*] there, my babe, my darling! on thy mother’s bosom, e’en in death and in the grave.
Molossus
Ah, woe is me! what will become of me and thee too, mother mine?
515
Menelaus
Away, to the world below! from hostile towers ye came, the pair of you; two different causes necessitate your deaths; my sentence takes away thy life, and my daughter Hermione’s requires his; for it would be the
height of folly to leave our foemen’s sons, when we might kill them and remove the danger from our house.
523
Andromache
O husband mine! I would I had thy strong arm and spear
to aid me, son of Priam.
Molossus
Ah, woe is me! what spell can I now find to turn death’s stroke aside?
