    Chorus

    In that hour around the house I was singing as I danced to that maiden of the hills, the child of Zeus; [555]  when there rang along the town a cry of death which filled the homes of Troy, and babies in terror clung about their mothers' skirts, [560]  as forth from their ambush came the warrior-band, the handiwork of maiden Pallas. Soon the altars ran with Phrygian blood, and desolation reigned over every bed where young men lay beheaded, [565]  a glorious crown for Hellas won, for her, the nurse of youth, but for our Phrygian fatherland a bitter grief.
