      What curse on palace and on people sped

        With her�察�the Fury sent on Priam's pride��

    By angered Zeus� �what tears of many a widowed bride��



                                                        antistrophe 3



      Long�察�long ago to mortals this was told��

        How sweet security and blissful state

      Have curses for their children´so men hold´

        And for the man of all´too prosperous fate

    Springs from a bitter seed some woe insatiate。



      Alone�察�alone�察�I deem far otherwise��

        Not bliss nor wealth it is�察�but impious deed��

      From which that after´growth of ill doth rise��

        Woe springs from wrong�察�the plant is like the seed´

    While Right�察�in honour's house�察�doth its own likeness breed。



                                                            strophe 4



      Some past impiety�察�some grey old crime��

        Breeds the young curse�察�that wantons in our ill��

      Early or late�察�when haps th'appointed time´

        And out of light brings power of darkness still��

    A master´fiend�察�a foe�察�unseen�察�invincible��



      A pride accursed�察�that broods upon the race

        And home in which dark Ate holds her sway´

      Sin's child and Woe's�察�that wears its parents' face��



                                                        antistrophe 4



        While Right in smoky cribs shines clear as day��

      And decks with weal his life�察�who walks the righteous way。



      From gilded halls�察�that hands polluted raise��

        Right turns away with proud averted eyes��

      And of the wealth�察�men stamp amiss with praise��

        Heedless�察�to poorer�察�holier temples hies��

    And to Fate's goal guides all�察�in its appointed wise。



    ��AGAMEMNON enters�察�riding in a chariot and accompanied by

        a great procession。 CASSANDRA follows in another chariot。

        The CHORUS sings its welcome。��



        Hail to thee�察�chief of Atreus' race��

        Returning proud from Troy subdued��

        How shall I greet thy conquering face��

        How nor a fulsome praise obtrude��

        Nor stint the meed of gratitude��

        For mortal men who fall to ill

        Take little heed of open truth��

        But seek unto its semblance still��

        The show of weeping and of ruth

        To the forlorn will all men pay��

        But�察�of the grief their eyes display��

        Nought to the heart doth pierce its way。

        And�察�with the joyous�察�they beguile

       Their lips unto a feigned smile��

       And force a joy�察�unfelt the while��

       But he who as a shepherd wise

         Doth know his flock�察�can ne'er misread

       Truth in the falsehood of his eyes��

       Who veils beneath a kindly guise

         A lukewarm love in deed。

       And thou�察�our leader´when of yore

       Thou badest Greece go forth to war

       For Helen's sake´I dare avow

       That then I held thee not as now��

       That to my vision thou didst seem

       Dyed in the hues of disesteem。

       I held thee for a pilot ill��

       And reckless�察�of thy proper will��

       Endowing others doomed to die

       With vain and forced audacity��

       Now from my heart�察�ungrudgingly��

       To those that wrought�察�this word be said´

       Well fall the labour ye have sped´

       Let time and search�察�O king�察�declare

       What men within thy city's bound

       Were loyal to the kingdom's care��

       And who were faithless found。

  AGAMEMNON ��still standing in the chariot��

    First�察�as is meet�察�a king's All´hail be said

    To Argos�察�and the gods that guard the land´

    Gods who with me availed to speed us home��

    With me availed to wring from Priam's town

    The due of justice。 In the court of heaven

    The gods in conclave sat and judged the cause��

    Not from a pleader's tongue�察�and at the close��

    Unanimous into the urn of doom

    This sentence gave�察�On Ilion and her men��

    Death�此�and where hope drew nigh to pardon's urn


    No hand there was to cast a vote therein。

    And still the smoke of fallen Ilion

    Rises in sight of all men�察�and the flame

    Of Ate's hecatomb is living yet��

    And where the towers in dusty ashes sink��

    Rise the rich fumes of pomp and wealth consumed

    For this must all men pay unto the gods

    The meed of mindful hearts and gratitude��

    For by our hands the meshes of revenge

    Closed on the prey�察�and for one woman's sake

    Troy trodden by the Argive monster lies´

    The foal�察�the shielded band that leapt the wall��

    What time with autumn sank the Pleiades。

    Yea�察�o'er the fencing wall a lion sprang

    Ravening�察�and lapped his fill of blood of kings。



    Such prelude spoken to the gods in full��

    To you I turn�察�and to the hidden thing

    Whereof ye spake but now�此�and in that thought

    I am as you�察�and what ye say�察�say I。

    For few are they who have such inborn grace��

    As to look up with love�察�and envy not��

    When stands another on the height of weal。

    Deep in his heart�察�whom jealousy hath seized��

    Her poison lurking doth enhance his load��

    For now beneath his proper woes he chafes��

    And sighs withal to see another's weal。



    I speak not idly�察�but from knowledge sure´

    There be who vaunt an utter loyalty��

    That is but as the ghost of friendship dead��

    A shadow in a glass�察�of faith gone by。

    One only´he who went reluctant forth

    Across the seas with me´Odysseus´he

    Was loyal unto me with strength and will��

    A trusty trace´horse bound unto my car。

    Thus´be he yet beneath the light of day��

    Or dead�察�as well I fear´I speak his praise。

    Lastly�察�whate'er be due to men or gods��



    With joint debate�察�in public council held��

    We will decide�察�and warily contrive

    That all which now is well may so abide��

    For that which haply needs the healer's art��

    That will we medicine�察�discerning well

    If cautery or knife befit the time。



    Now�察�to my palace and the shrines of home��

    I will pass in�察�and greet you first and fair��

    Ye gods�察�who bade me forth�察�and home again´

    And long may Victory tarry in my train��



    ��CLYTEMNESTRA enters from the palace�察�followed by maidens

        bearing crimson robes。��

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Old men of Argos�察�lieges of our realm��

    Shame shall not bid me shrink lest ye should see

    The love I bear my lord。 Such blushing fear

    Dies at the last from hearts of human kind。

    From mine own soul and from no alien lips��

    I know and will reveal the life I bore。

    Reluctant�察�through the lingering livelong years��

    The while my lord beleaguered Ilion's wall。



    First�察�that a wife sat sundered from her lord��

    In widowed solitude�察�was utter woe

    And woe�察�to hear how rumour's many tongues

    All boded evil´woe�察�when he who came

    And he who followed spake of ill on ill��

    Keening Lost�察�lost�察�all lost� �thro' hall and bower。

    Had this my husband met so many wounds��

    As by a thousand channels rumour told��

    No network e'er was full of holes as he。

    Had he been slain�察�as oft as tidings came

    That he was dead�察�he well might boast him now

    A second Geryon of triple frame��

    With triple robe of earth above him laid´

    For that below�察�no matter´triply dead��

    Dead by one death for every form he bore。

    And thus distraught by news of wrath and woe��

    Oft for self´slaughter had I slung the noose��

    But others wrenched it from my neck away。

    Hence haps it that Orestes�察�thine and mine��

    The pledge and symbol of our wedded troth��

    Stands not beside us now�察�as he should stand。

    Nor marvel thou at this�此�he dwells with one

    Who guards him loyally�察�'tis Phocis' king��

    Strophius�察�who warned me erst�察�Bethink thee�察�queen��

    What woes of doubtful issue well may fall

    Thy lord in daily jeopardy at Troy��

    While here a populace uncurbed may cry��

    ;Down witk the council�察�down� ─�bethink thee too��

    'Tis the world's way to set a harder heel

    On fallen power。



                    For thy child's absence then

    Such mine excuse�察�no wily afterthought。

    For me�察�long since the gushing fount of tears

    Is wept away�察�no drop is left to shed。

    Dim are the eyes that ever watched till dawn��

    Weeping�察�the bale´fires�察�piled for thy return��

    Night after night unkindled。 If I slept��

    Each sound´the tiny humming of a gnat��

    Roused me again�察�again�察�from fitful dreams

    Wherein I felt thee smitten�察�saw thee slain��

    Thrice for each moment of mine hour of sleep。



    All this I bore�察�and now�察�released from woe��

    I hail my lord as watch´dog of a fold��

    As saving stay´rope of a storm´tossed ship��

    As column stout that holds the roof aloft��

    As only child unto a sire bereaved��

    As land beheld�察�past hope�察�by cr
