  1. Fatherland, house and home has mowed to atoms:
  2. Debts the Priamidai have paid twice over.
CHOROS.
  1. Hail, herald from the army of Achaians!
HERALD.
  1. I hail: — to die, will gainsay gods no longer!
CHOROS.
  1. Love of this fatherland did exercise thee?
HERALD.
  1. So that I weep, at least, with joy, my eyes full.
CHOROS.
  1. What, of this gracious sickness were ye gainers?
HERALD.
  1. How now? instructed, I this speech shall master.
