Excerpt from Statius, Vol. 2 of 2: With An English Translation; Thebaid V-XII, Achilleid The Lemnian sighed, and, stayed by shamefast tears awhile, then makes reply Deep are the wounds, O prince, thou biddest me revive, the tale of Lemnos and its Furies and of murder done even in the bed's embrace, and of the shameful sword whereby our manhood perished; ah! The wicked ness comes back upon me, the freezing Horror grips my heart! Ah! Miserable they, upon whom this frenzy came alas, that night alas, my father for I am she - lest haply ye feel shame for your kindly host - I am she, O chieftains, who alone did steal away and hide her father. But why do I weave the long prelude to my woes? Moreover battle summons you and your hearts' high enterprise. Thus much doth it suffice to tell: I am Hypsipyle, born of renowned Thoas, and captive thrall to your Lycurgus.
