Manto.

Who yearns for the impossible I love.

 
(Chiron is already far away.)


Manto.

Enter, audacious one, glad shall you be;
The gloomy way leads to Persephone.
Within Olympus' cavern foot
She lists in secret for prescribed salute.
Here did I smuggle Orpheus in of old.
Use your turn better! Quick! be bold!


(They descend.)
