Behold Apollo's self is stripping me

1240

Of my divining garments, and that too,

When he has seen me even in this garb

Scorned without cause among my friends and kin,

[*]By foes, with no diversity of mood.

Reviled as vagrant, wandering prophetess,

Poor, wretched, famished, I endured to live:

And now the Seer who me a seeress made

Hath brought me to this lot of deadly doom.
