Hearing the many rumours back-revenging:
And for now This to come, now That bring after
Woe, and still worse woe, bawling in the household!
And truly, if so many wounds had chanced on
My husband here, as homeward used to dribble
Report, hes pierced more than a net to speak of!
While, were he dying (as the words abounded)
A triple-bodied Geruon the Second,
Plenty above for loads below I count not
Of earth a three-share cloak hed boast of taking,
Once only dying in each several figure!
Because of suchlike rumours back-revenging,
Many the halters from my neck, above head,
Others than I loosed loosed from neck by main force!
From this cause, sure, the boy stands not beside me
Possessor of our troth-plights, thine and mine too
As ought Orestes: be not thou astonished!
For, him brings up our well-disposed guest-captive
Strophios the Phokian ills that told on both sides
To me predicting both of thee neath Ilion
The danger, and if anarchys mob-uproar
Should overthrow thy council; since t is born with
Mortals, whoeer has fallen, the more to kick him.
Such an excuse, I think, no cunning carries!
887
As for myself why, of my wails the rushing
Fountains are dried up: not in them a drop more!
And in my late-to-bed eyes I have damage,
Bewailing what concerned thee, those torch-holdings
For ever unattended to. In dreams why,
Beneath the light wing-beats o the gnat, I woke up
