Of the world, protecting my body with leaves and the skins of beasts,

Fleeing from men, like an animal, for fear they should catch me and kill me.

But now the mountain is full of unaccountable noises and I do not know whither to go.

And I am so weak that I cannot stir.

Alas! Why should I wish for the sun when he will reveal me to all?

And here like a ewe with a broken leg I lie at the mercy of anyone that passes.

(A long pause. Daybreak.

The Princess: I am cold! I am hungry!

(Pause. The sun rises.

(Hoof-beats without. Enter on horseback cassius bearing the Sword. He rides to an eminence from which he can observe the whole country.
