  1. And, for a man ill-wived, a man shall perish!
  2. This hospitality I ask as dying.
CHOROS.
  1. O sufferer, thee — thy foretold fate I pity.
KASSANDRA.
  1. Yet once for all, to speak a speech, I fain am:
  2. No dirge, mine for myself! The sun I pray to,
  3. Fronting his last light! — to my own avengers —
  4. That from my hateful slayers they exact too
  5. Pay for the dead slave — easy-managed hand’s work!
