    Beyond the doors�拭�Where goest thou�拭�Methinks

    Some grief unbidden walketh at thy side。

  NURSE

    My mistress bids me�察�with what speed I may��

    Call in Aegisthus to the stranger guests��

    That he may come�察�and stinding face to face��

    A man with men�察�way thus more clearly learn

    This rumour new。 Thus speaking�察�to her slaves

    Laughter for what is wrought´to her desire

    Too well�察�but ill�察�ill�察�ill besets the house��

    Brought by the tale these guests have told so clear。

    And he�察�God wot�察�will gladden all his heart

    Hearing this rumour。 Woe and well´a´day��

    The bitter mingled cup of ancient woes��

    Hard to be borne�察�that here in Atreus' house

    Befell�察�was grievous to mine inmost heart��

    But never yet did I endure such pain。

    All else I bore with set soul patiently��

    But now´alack�察�alack��Orestes dear��

    The day and night´long travail of my soul

    Whom from his mother's womb�察�a new´born child��

    I clasped and cherished� �Many a time and oft

    Toilsome and profitless my service was��

    When his shrill outcry called me from my couch��

    For the young child�察�before the sense is born��

    Hath but a dumb thing's life�察�must needs be nursed

    As its own nature bids。 The swaddled thing

    Hath nought of speech�察�whate'er discomfort come�察�

    Hunger or thirst or lower weakling need�察�

    For the babe's stomach works its own relief。

    Which knowing well before�察�yet oft surprised��

    'Twas mine to cleanse the swaddling clothes´poor

    Was nurse to tend and fuller to make white��

    Two works in one�察�two handicrafts I took��

    When in mine arms the father laid the boy。

    And now he's dead´alack and well´a´day��

    Yet must I go to him whose wrongful power

    Pollutes this house´fair tidings these to him��

  LEADER

    Say then�察�with what array she bids him come��

  NURSE

    What say'st thou� �Speak。 more clearly for mine ear。

  LEADER

    Bids she bring henchmen�察�or to come alone��

  NURSE

    She bids him bring a spear´armed body´guard。

    Nay�察�tell not that unto our loathed lord��

    But speed to him�察�put on the mien of joy��

    Say�察�Come alone�察�fear nought�察�the news is good��

    A bearer can tell straight a twisted tale。

  NURSE

    Does then thy mind in this new tale find joy��

  LEADER

    What if Zeus bid our ill wind veer to fair��

  NURSE

    And how�拭�the home's hope with Orestes dies。

  LEADER

    Not yet´a seer�察�though feeble�察�this might see。

  NURSE

    What say'st thou�拭�Know'st thou aught�察�this tale belying��

  LEADER

    Go�察�tell the news to him�察�perform thine hest�察�

    What the gods will�察�themselves can well provide。

  NURSE

    Well�察�I will go�察�herein obeying thee��

    And luck fall fair�察�with favour sent from heaven。

    ��She goes out。��

          Into his father's hall he goes

          To smite his father's foes。

    Bid him prevail by thee on throne of triumph set��

    Twice�察�yea and thrice with joy shall he acquit the debt。



                                                        antistrophe 1



    Bethink thee�察�the young steed�察�the orphan foal

      Of sire beloved by thee�察�unto the car

        Of doom is harnessed fast。

    Guide him aright�察�plant firm a lasting goal��

      Speed thou his pace�察�O that no chance may mar

        The homeward course�察�the last��



                                                            strophe 2



    And ye who dwell within the inner chamber

      Where shines the stored joy of gold´

    Gods of one heart�察�O hear ye�察�and remember��

    Up and avenge the blood shed forth of old��

              With sudden rightful blow��

        Then let the old curse die�察�nor be renewed

              With progeny of blood�察�

      Once more�察�and not again�察�be latter guilt laid low��



                                                            refrain 2



      O thou who dwell'st in Delphi's mighty cave��

      Grant us to see this home once more restored

              Unto its rightful lord��

    Let it look forth�察�from veils of death�察�with joyous eye

          Unto the dawning light of liberty��



                                                        antistrophe 2



      And Hermes�察�Maia's child�察�lend hand to save��

              Willing the right�察�and guide

    Our state with Fortune's breeze adown the favouring tide。

          Whate'er in darkness hidden lies��

              He utters at his will��

      He at his will throws darkness on our eyes��

          By night and eke by day inscrutable。



                                                            strophe 3



              Then�察�then shall wealth atone

              The ills that here were done。

              Then�察�then will we unbind��

              Fling free on wafting wind

      Of joy�察�the woman's voice that waileth now

      In piercing accents for a chief laid low��

            Hail to the freedom won to me��

    All hail� �for doom hath passed from him�察�my well´loved lord��



                                                        antistrophe 3



    And thou�察�O child�察�when Time and Chance agree��

  AEGISTHUS

    Hither and not unsummoned have I come��

    For a new rumour�察�borne by stranger men

    Arriving hither�察�hath attained mine ears��

    Of hap unwished´for�察�even Orestes' death。

    This were new sorrow�察�a blood´bolter'd load

    Laid on the house that doth already bow

    Beneath a former wound that festers deep。

    Dare I opine these words have truth and life��

    Or are they tales�察�of woman's terror born��

    That fly in the void air�察�and die disproved��

    Canst thou tell aught�察�and prove it to my soul��

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    What we have heard�察�we heard�察�go thou within

    Thyself to ask the strangers of their tale。

    Strengthless are tidings�察�thro' another heard��

    Question is his�察�to whom the tale is brought。

  AEGISTHUS

    I too will meet and test the messenger��

    Whether himself stood witness of the death��

    Or tells it merely from dim rumour learnt��

    None shall cheat me�察�whose soul hath watchful eyes。

        Zeus�察�Zeus� �what word to me is given��

        What cry or prayer�察�invoking heaven��

            Shall first by me be uttered��

        What speech of craft´nor all revealing��

        Nor all too warily concealing´

            Ending my speech�察�shall aid the deed��

        For lo� �in readiness is laid

        The dark emprise�察�the rending blade��

            Blood´dropping daggers shall achieve

        The dateless doom of Atreus' name��

        Or´kindling torch and joyful flame

          In sign of new´won liberty´

            Once more Orestes shall retrieve

          His father's wealth�察�and�察�throned on high��

          Shall hold the city's fealty。

          So mighty is the grasp whereby��

        Heaven´holpen�察�he shall trip and throw��

        Unseconded�察�a double foe。

            Ho for the victory��
