Εσται θαλπωρη, επει αν συγε ποτμον επισπης,
Αλλ' αχέ· ουδε μοι εστι πατης και ποτνια μήτηρ.
Ητοι γαρ πατερ' αμον απέκτανε διος Αχιλλευς,
Εκ δε πολιν περσεν Κιλικων ευ ναιεταωσαν,
Θηβην ὑψιπυλον· κατα δ' εκτανεν Ηετίωνα,
Ουδε μιν εξενάριξε" σεβασσατο γαρ τογε θυμῷ
Αλλ' αρα μιν κατεκῃε συν εντεσι δαιδαλέοισιν,
Ηδ επι σημ' εχεεν περι δε πτελεας εφυτευσαν
Νυμφαι Ορεστιάδες, κουραι Διος αιγιόχοιο.
Οἱ δε μοι ἑπτα κασιγνήτοι εσαν εν μεγαροισιν,
Οἱ μεν παντες ιῳ κιον ηματι αΐδος εισαι
Παντας γαρ κατεπεφνε ποδάρκης διος Αχιλλευς,
Βουσιν επ' εἱλιποδεσσι και αργεννης οΐεσσι.
Μητερα δ ̓, ἡ βασιλευεν Ὑποπλάκῳ ὑληεσσῃ,
Την επει ας δευρ' ηγαγ ̓ ἁμ' αλλοισι κτεατεσσιν
Αψ όγε την απέλυσε, λαβων απερεισί' αποινα
Πατρος δ' εν μεγαροισι, βαλ ̓ Αρτεμις, ιοχέαιρα.
Εκτος, αταρ συ μοι εσσι πατης και ποτνια μητης,
Ηδε κασίγνητος, συ δε μοι θαλερος παρακοιτης.
Αλλ αγε νυν ελεαιρε, και αυτου μιμν' επι πυργῳ,
Μη παιδ' ορφανικον θειης, χηρην τε γυναικα·
Λαον δε στησον παρ' ερινεον, ενθα μαλιστα
Αμβατος εστι πολις, και επιδρομον επλετο τειχος
Τρις γας τη γ' ελθοντες επειρησανθ ̓ οἱ αριστοι,
Αμφ' Αιαντε δυω, και αγακλυτον Ιδομενήα,
Ηδ αμφ' Ατρειδας, και Τυδέος αλκιμον υἷον.

PRIAM BEGGING THE BODY OF HECTOR FROM
ACHILLES.

1. Aн think, thou favour'd of the powers divine!
Think of thy father's age, and pity mine!
In me, that father's reverend image trace,
Those silver hairs, that venerable face;
His trembling limbs, his helpless person, see!
In all my equal, but in misery!

Yet now, perhaps, some turn of human fate
Expels him helpless from his peaceful state;
Think, from some powerful foe thou see'st him fly,
And beg protection with a feeble cry.
