THE CYCLOPS

Odysseus

Much I care! What's done is done. As for me,

I'm off to the shore where I'll launch my ship

on the Sicilian shore and sail for home.

(Exft.)
Cyclops

Not yet. I'll rip a boulder from this cliff

and crush you and all your crew beneath it. 705

Blind I may be, but I'll reach the mountain-top

soon enough through the tunnel in the cave.

(Exits into cave.)

Chorus

We'll enlist in the crew of Odysseus.
From now our orders come from Bacchus.
