A swift messenger from Ida heralds the approach of Hector, and his bride Andromache-the deathless glory of Asia. 5 " See Hector with his trusty comrades brings

From sacred Thebes and Placia's living springs The delicate bright-eyed Andromache In ships that sail upon the briny sea ; And many a golden bracelet do they bear,

10 And many a purple robe and broidery fair, And countless silver cups and ivory chased."
