  1. Keeps moaning Itus, Itus, and his life
  2. With evils, flourishing on each side, rife.
KASSANDRA.
  1. Ah me, ah me,
  2. The fate o’ the nightingale, the clear resounder!
  3. For a body wing-borne have the gods cast round her,
  4. And sweet existence, from misfortunes free:
  5. But for myself remains a sundering
  6. With spear, the two-edged thing!
