As he went buzzing sorrows that concerned thee
Seeing, that filled more than their fellow-sleep-time.
Now, all this having suffered, from soul grief-free
I would style this man here the dog o the stables,
The saviour forestay of the ship, the high roofs
Ground-prop, son sole-begotten to his father,
Ay, land appearing to the sailors past hope,
Loveliest day to see after a tempest,
To the wayfaring-one athirst a well-spring,
The joy, in short, of scaping all that s fatal!
I judge him worth addresses such as these are
Envy stand off! for many those old evils
We underwent. And now, to me dear headship!
Dismount thou from this car, not earthward setting
The foot of thine, O king, thats Ilions spoiler!
Slave-maids, why tarry? whose the task allotted
To strew the soil o the road with carpet-spreadings.
Immediately be purple-strewn the pathway,
So that to home unhoped may lead him Justice!
As for the rest, care shall by no sleep conquered
Dispose things justly (gods to aid!) appointed.
914
AGAMEMNON.
Offspring of Leda, of my household warder,
Suitably to my absence hast thou spoken,
For long the speech thou didst outstretch! But aptly
To praise from others ought to go this favour.
And for the rest, —-not me, in womans fashion,
Mollify, nor as mode of barbarous man is
To me gape forth a groundward-falling clamour!
Nor, strewing it with garments, make my passage
Envied! Gods, sure, with these behoves we honour:
