Andromache mourns deeply at our last
leavetaking, bringing robes adorned with threads
of gold, a Phrygian mantle for my son –
she does not yield in doing honor – weighting
Ascanius with woven gifts, then tells him:
'Receive these, too, my boy: memorials
of my own handiwork; and let them serve
as witness to Andromache's long love
as wife of Hector. Take with you these last
gifts of your people – you, the only image
that still is left of my Astyanax:
so did he bear his eyes, his hands, his face;
so would he now be entering his youth,
were he alive, his years the same as yours.'
– Andromache addresses Ascanius, from Book III of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
