My lady, I have heard a lot about you this being so, let it suffice to ask me of other matters. Do not enforce me to recall my pain. One of the maids might say I had got maudlin over cups of wine.
Stranger, looks, my face, my carriage were soon lost and faded when the achaeans crossed the sea to Troy, Odysseus my lord among the rest. If he returned I might be happily renowned! But grief instead heaven sent me .
