The woman had said truly, 'my boy Marcius is coming home. And when he greets the weeping Virgilia, who cannot speak but with her tears, these are the words with which he measures that private joy Would'st thou have laughed, had I come coffin'd home, That weep'st to see me triumph? Ah, my dear, Such eyes the widows in Corioli wear, And mothers that lack sons.
Through wind and storm unto thine ear Cry after cry doth run; And yet thou seemest not to hear, And only smilest on. When first thou earnest to the earth, All sounds of strife were still; A silence lay around thy birth, And thou didst sleep thy fill. Why sleep'st thou nay, why weep'st thou not? Thy earth is woe-begone; Babies and mothers wail their lot, And still thou smilest on.
And his body is naked now, for Hector has stripped the armor from it." Then Achilles fainted away and his head lay in the ashes of his hut. He woke again and moaned terribly. His goddess-mother heard the sound of his grief as she sat within the depths of the Ocean. She came to him as he was still moaning terribly. She took his hand and clasped it and said, "My child, why weep'st thou?"
Can I conceive the woes that try men, When late repentance racks the soul Ensnared into the toils of hymen? Can I take part in such distress? Poor martyr, most devoutly, "Yes!" Thou weep'st because thy spouse has flown To arms preferred before thine own; A faithless wife, I grant the curse, And yet, my friend, it might be worse!
And weep'st thou, Laura? be thy tears forbid; Would'st thou my lot, life's dreariest years amid, Protract and doom? Hear the dull frozen heart condemn the flame That as from heaven to youth's blithe bosom came; And see the blind eyes loathing turn from all The lovely sins age curses to recall? Let me die young! sweet sinner, dry thy tears! Yes, let the flower be gathered in its bloom!
