Van zedert soo verwoed, rondom de staende wallen,
Met sijn' strijdwagen styf, en wacker aengesweept,
De wreede Peleus soon mijn' leden heeft gesleept:- You have old Troy for now, but I [have] long seen it fall
From since, so enraged, round the [still] standing walls,
With his sturdy chariot and driven fiercely,
The cruel son of Peleus has dragged my [better half's] body:
- You have old Troy for now, but I [have] long seen it fall
- 1626, Joost Vondel, De Amsteldamsche Hecvba. Treur-Spel, act III, lines 605-608.
