Who, no more awe-checked than as t were a beasts fate,
With sheep abundant in the well-fleeced graze-flocks,
Sacrificed his child, dearest fruit of travail
To me, as song-spell against Threkian blowings.
Not him did it behove thee hence to banish
Pollutions penalty? But hearing mzy deeds
Justicer rough thou art! Now, this I tell thee:
To threaten thus me, one prepared to have thee
(On like conditions, thy hand conquering) oer me
Rule: but if God the opposite ordain us,
Thou shalt learn late taught, certes to be modest.
1426
CHOROS.
Greatly-intending thou art:
Much-mindful, too, hast thou cried
(Since thy mind, with its slaughter-outpouring part,
Is frantic) that over the eyes, a patch
Of blood with blood to match
Is plain for a pride!
Yet still, bereft of friends, thy fate
Is blow with blow to expiate!
1431
KLUTAIMNESTRA.
And this thou hearest of my oaths, just warrant!
By who fulfilled things for my daughter, Justice,
Até, Erinus, by whose help I slew him,
Not mine the fancy Fear will tread my palace
So long as on my hearth there burns a fire,
Aigisthos as before well-caring for me;
Since he to me is shield, no small, of boldness.
