Ah me, what shall I do? where shall I end my life?
Polyxena
Daughter of a free-born father, a slave I am to die.
Hecuba
Not one of all my fifty children left!
Polyxena
What message can I take for you to Hector or your aged lord?
Hecuba
Tell them that of all women I am the most miserable.
Polyxena
Ah! breasts and paps that fed me with sweet food!
Hecuba
Oh, my daughteryour wretched, untimely fate!
Polyxena
Farewell, my mother! farewell, Cassandra!
Hecuba
Fare well! others do, but not your mother, no!
Polyxena
You too, my brother Polydorus, in Thrace, the home of steeds!
