Alas for the nuptials, the nuptials of Paris, destructive to his friends! alas for my native waters of Scamander. Then indeed on thy banks I, wretched, throve in my rearing; but now beside the Cocytus. and on the banks of Acheron, it seems that I must speedily chant my prophecies.

Woe, Paris, woe on thee! thy bridal joy
Was death and fire upon thy race and Troy!
And woe for thee, Scamander's flood!

Beside thy banks, O river fair,
I grew in tender nursing care
From childhood unto maidenhood!
Now not by thine, but by Cocytus' stream
And Acheron's banks shall ring my boding scream.

Farn. Quod dictura erat vel certe in mente habebat Cassandra, nunc se infortunatam et propinquam morti non habere caussam cur celet ista, id chorus occupans dicit nimirum quivis fastidiosior est, quum prospera gaudet fortuna. At, inquit Cassandra, tamen, quamvis fastidiosa essem, ille urgebat, vehementem erga me spirans amorem. Similiter v. 1194. dicit
