晚晴風歇，一夜春威折。 脈脈花疏天淡，雲來去，當選枝雪。

"Neoptolemos drags King Priam from the altar of the palace at Troy and prepares to kill the old man with a short sword. Hekabe, kneeling on the altar behind Priam, stretches out her arms in horror and in an appeal for mercy."

Neoptolemos, a.k.a. Pyrrhus, is the son of Achilles.
