## Summary

LYS. None here! The place is void, the streets are dumb: Though I have called, the women have not come! Ah, had it been for Bacchus, or for Pan, Or Her who casts her woman-wiles on man,-- White foam-born Aphrodite--swift and loud With beat of drums had thronged the giddy crowd To do them honour! Now I stand alone Uncomraded; and these soft hearts are stone While stricken Greece goes stumbling to her death. Yet here comes one!
