Leader: But with me pity sits in anger's place.
Poor maiden, come thou from the car; no way
There is but this-take up thy servitude.

Cassandra: (chanting) Woe, woe, alas! Earth, Mother Earth! and thou

Apollo, Apollo!

Leader: Peace! shriek not to the bright prophetic god,
Who will not brook the suppliance of woe.

Cassandra: (chanting) Woe, woe, alas! Earth, Mother Earth! and thou

Apollo, Apollo!

Leader: Hark, with wild curse she calls anew on him,
Who stands far off and loathes the voice of wail.

Cassandra: (chanting) 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!

Leader: She grows presageful of her woes to come,
Slave tho' she be, instinct with prophecy.
