Oh! mother, mother, why do you call so loud? what news is it you have proclaimed, scaring me, like a cowering bird, from my chamber by this alarm?
Hecuba
Alas, my daughter!
Polyxena
Why this ominous address? it means sorrow for me.
Hecuba
Woe for your life!
Polyxena
Tell it, hide it no longer. Ah mother! how I dread, I dread
the import of your loud laments.
Hecuba
Ah my daughter! a luckless mothers child!
Polyxena
Why do you tell me this?
Hecuba
The Argives with one consent are eager for your sacrifice to the son of Peleus
at his tomb.
