Aeschylus, agamemnon LEADER Was thine heart wrung with longing for thy land? HERALD So that this joy doth brim mine eyes with tears. LEADER On you too then this sweet distress did fall- HERALD How say'st thou? make me master of thy word. LEADER You longed for us who pined for you again. HERALD Craved the land us who craved it, love for love? LEADER Yea, till my brooding heart moaned out with pain. HERALD Whence thy despair, that mars the army's joy? LEADER Sole cure of wrong is silence, saith the saw. 36
Aeschylus, agamemnon HERALD Thy kings afar, couldst thou fear other men? LEADER Death had been sweet, as thou didst say but now. HERALD 'Tis true; Fate smiles at last. Throughout our toil, These many years, some chances issued fair, And some, I wot, were chequered with a curse. But who, on earth, hath won the bliss of heaven, Thro' time's whole tenor an unbroken weal? I could a tale unfold of toiling oars, Ill rest, scant landings on a shore rock-strewn, All pains, all sorrows, for our daily doom. And worse and hatefuller our woes on land; For where we couched, close by the foeman's wall, The river-plain was ever dank with dews, Dropped from the sky, exuded from the earth, A curse that clung unto our sodden garb, And hair as horrent as a wild beast's fell. Why tell the woes of winter, when the birds Lay stark and stiff, so stern was Ida's snow? Or summer's scorch, what time the stirless wave Sank to its sleep beneath the noon-day sun? 37
