Aeschylus, agamemnon LEADER 'Twas thy word and we accept it: onward to the chance of war! CLYTEMNESTRA Nay, enough, enough, my champion! we will smite and slay no more. Already have we reaped enough the harvest-field of guilt: Enough of wrong and murder, let no other blood be spilt. Peace, old men! and pass away unto the homes by Fate decreed, Lest ill valour meet our vengeance--'twas a necessary deed. But enough of toils and troubles--be the end, if ever, now, Ere thy talon, O Avenger, deal another deadly blow. 'Tis a woman's word of warning, and let who will list thereto. AEGISTHUS But that these should loose and lavish reckless blossoms of the tongue, And in hazard of their fortune cast upon me words of wrong, And forget the law of subjects, and revile their ruler's word-- LEADER Ruler? but 'tis not for Argives, thus to own a dastard lord! AEGISTHUS I will follow to chastise thee in my coming days of sway. 106
Aeschylus, agamemnon LEADER Not if Fortune guide Orestes safely on his homeward way. AEGISTHUS Ah, well I know how exiles feed on hopes of their return. LEADER Fare and batten on pollution of the right, while 'tis thy turn. AEGISTHUS Thou shalt pay, be w ell assured, heavy quittance for thy pride. LEADER Crow and strut, with her to watch thee, like a cock, his mate beside! CLYTEMNESTRA Heed not thou too highly of them--let the cur-pack growl and yell: I and thou will rule the palace and will order all things well. AEGISTHUS and CLYTEMNESTRA move towards the palace, as the CHO- RUS sullenly withdraws. THE END 107
