To honour, without grudge, their friend, successful.

For moody, on the heart, a poison seated

Its burthen doubles to who gained the sickness:

By his own griefs he is himself made heavy,

And out-of-door prosperity seeing groans at.

Knowing, I’d call (for well have I experienced)

Fellowship’s mirror,phantom of a shadow,

Those seeming to be mighty gracious to me:

While just Odusseus — he who sailed not willing —

When joined on, was to me the ready trace-horse.

This of him, whether dead or whether living,

I say. For other city-and-gods’ concernment —

Appointing common courts, in full assemblage

We will consult. And as for what holds seemly —

How it may lasting stay well, must be counselled:

While what has need of medicines Paionian

We, either burning or else cutting kindly,

Will make endeavour to turn pain from sickness.

And now into the domes and homes by altar

Going, I to the gods first raise the right-hand —

They who, far sending, back again have brought me.

And Victory, since she followed, fixed remain she!

855

KLUTAIMNESTRA.

Men, citizens, Argeians here, my worships!

I shall not shame me, consort-loving manners

To tell before you: for in time there dies off

The diffidence from people. Not from others

Learning, I of myself will tell the hard life

I bore so long as this man was ’neath Ilion.

First: for a woman, from the male divided,

To sit at home alone, is monstrous evil —
