Chorus
[475] Alas for my children! alas for my ancestors, and my country which is falling in smouldering ruin among the smoke, sacked by the Argive spear, while I upon a foreign [480] shore am called a slave, indeed! leaving Asia, Europe's handmaid, and receiving in its place a deadly marriage-bower.
