Charioteer

Where can I find some Trojan chief? Where does Hector

take his rest under arms? To which of the captains of the army am I to tell my tale? What sufferings ours! what dark deeds someone has wrought on us and gone his way, when he had wound up a ball of sorrow manifest to every Thracian!

VOICE.

Ho, some one of the Trojan name!

Where sleeps your king beneath his shield,

Hector? What marshal of the field
740

Will hear our tale . . . the men who came

And struck us and were gone; and we,

We woke and there was nought to see,

But our own misery.
