Certainly, great of might
And heavy of wrath, the Sprite
Thou tellest of, in the palace
(Woe, woe!)
— An evil tale of a fate
By Até’s malice
Rendered insatiate!
1489
Oh, oh, —
King, king, how shall I beweep thee?
From friendly soul whatever say?
Thou liest where webs of the spider o’ersweep thee
In impious death, life breathing away.
O me — me!
This couch, not free.
By a slavish death subdued thou art,
From the hand, by the two-edged dart.
1497
KLUTAIMNESTRA.
Thou boastest this deed to be mine:
But leave off styling me
The Agamemnonian wife!
For, showing himself in sign
Of the spouse of the corpse thou dost see,
Did the ancient bitter avenging-ghost
Of Atreus, savage host,
Pay the man here as price —
A full-grown for the young one’s sacrifice.
1505
CHOROS.
That no cause, indeed, of this killing art thou,
Who shall be witness-bearer?
How shall he bear it — how?
But the sire’s avenging-ghost might be in the deed a sharer.
He is forced on and on
