KASSANDRA.

I no one aught persuaded, when I sinned thus.


CHOROS.

To us, at least, now sooth to say thou seemest.


KASSANDRA.

Halloo, Halloo, ah, evils!
Again, straightforward foresight's fearful labour
Whirls me, distracting with prelusive last-lays!
Behold ye those there, in the household seated,—
Young ones,—of dreams approaching to the figures?
Children, as if they died by their beloveds—
Hands they have filled with flesh, the meal domestic—
Entrails and vitals both, most piteous burthen,
