Cassandra & Ajax
I came to Athena for aegis 'gainst my fate
but the fall of Troy showed me that was forlorn,
indeed I was ripped from her arms, maid for mate
as he rudely used me with artless male scorn...
Such a curse, Apollo, visited on me,
then blast it with bolts of raw untrust, for all,
I knew my coming fate from my own prophecy
but my feet, still, dragged me to my sordid fall.
Ajax the Lesser? Ah! A gross misnomer
I thought Priapus come as the earth began to quake
as he, again, sheathed his weapon, this farmer
sowed his seed, I, and my hymen, began to break...
His royal seed may breed in me a great brood
But a bastard brood, albeit, with Royal blood.
