Can you summarize this? What are they saying?

“True, dear brother – how your father and mother both implored me, time and again, clutching my kness, and the comrades round me begging me to stay! Such was the fear that broke them, man for man, but the heart withing me broke with grief for you.”

Without knowing more, I would say the speaker is saying that the ‘brother’s’ father and mother didn’t want the speaker to leave. Also, the speaker’s friends didn’t want him to leave either, but he did anyways. I would gather they didn’t want him to leave for the sake of the listener. The speaker is saying that the other people’s hearts were breaking because the speaker was leaving but his heart broke for the listener.
