I am she that set my seal upon the nameless West worlds of seas; And my sons as brides took unto them the tameless Hesperides. Till my sins and sons through sinless lands dispersèd, With red flame shod, Made accurst the name of man, and thrice accursèd The name of God. Lest for those past fires the fires of my repentance Hell’s fume yet smother, Now my blood would buy remission of my sentence; (Cho.) Hear us, O mother.
