(y) The Woman.] Andromache, Hector's Wife, the cou∣plet is taken out of a Tragedy of Ennius, of that name.
(z) Look! another peeps up from under ground.] Priam King of Troy, at the Greeks Invasion, had sent his youngest Son Polydore, with a great Sum of Money, to Polymester King of Thrace, who had married Iliona, the Princess Royal of Asia, his eldest Daughter, that he might be secured against the uncertain events of War: She tenderly brought him up as her own Son; but the Fortune of the Trojans being turned, the Tyrant, to curry favor with the Greeks, murthers his Charge, flings him out unburied, and seiseth his Portion. Thhe Ghost of the murther'd, appears to his ruputed Mo∣ther in her sleep, and demands burial. This passage is ta∣ken out of the Iliona of Pacuvius.
(a) Alas! what of the half-burnt King.] These seem to be a distinct out of Ennius, spoken by Hecuba or Andro∣mache, about King Priam, consum'd or scorch'd in the Flames of Troy; with an allusion to the Greek way of burning the Corps, or gathering the Ashes or Bones into Urns.
