Poems of Schiller - Works of Frederick Schiller

This and the following poem are, with some alterations, introduced iu the Play of The Robbers. ANDROMACHE. WILL Hector leave me for the fatal plain, Where, fierce with vengeance for Patroclus slain, Stalks Peleus ruthless son? Who, when thou glid st amid the dark abodes, To hurl the spear and to revere the gods, Shall teach thine orphan one? HECTOR. Woman and wife beloved cease thy tears; My soul is nerved the war-clang in my ears !B emine iu life to stand Troy sbulwark !fighting for our hearths, to go In death, exulting to the streams below, Slain for m- fatherland !ANDROMACHE.
