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
