CHORUS Hark, with wild curse she calls anew on him, Who stands far off and loathes the voice of wail. CASSANDRA Apollo, Apollo! God of all ways, but only Death's to me, Once and again, O thou, Destroyer named, Thou hast destroyed me, thou, my love of old! CHORUS She grows presageful of her woes to come, Slave tho' she be, instinct with prophecy. CASSANDRA Apollo, Apollo! God of all ways, but only Death's to me, O thou Apollo, thou Destroyer named! What way hast led me, to what evil home? CHORUS Know'st thou it not? The home of Atreus' race: Take these my words for sooth and ask no more. |
