O Hecuba! why these cries, these piercing shrieks? What do your words mean? For I heard your piteous wail
echo through the building, and a pang of terror shoots through each captive Trojans breast, as within these walls they mourn their slavish lot.
Hecuba
My child, even now at the ships of the Argives
First Semi-Chorus
[*]The rowers hand is busy?
Ah, woe is me! what is their intent? Will they really carry me away from my country in their fleet?
Hecuba
I do not know, though I guess our doom.
First Semi-Chorus
O misery!
woe to us Trojan women, soon to hear of our troubles: Come out of the house, the Argives are preparing to return.
