Faint is his voice, and near to die, He scarce can lift his trembling eye. Jaṭáyus, if thou still can speak, Give, give the answer that I seek. The fate of ravished Sítá tell, And how thy mournful chance befell.

In plain words: Rama sees Jatayu is too weak to speak or lift his eyes. He begs him, if he still can, to tell what happened to Sita and how he was hurt.
