Cassandra
[1100] Alas, what can she be planning1? What is this fresh woe she contrives here within, what monstrous, monstrous horror, beyond love's enduring, beyond all remedy? And help2stands far away! Chorus
[1105] These prophesyings pass my comprehension; but those I understood—the whole city rings with them.
1 A play on the name Κλυταιμήστρα(μήδομαι).
2 Menelaus (cp. l. 674) or Orestes.
