Aeschylus, agamemnon CASSANDRA Once more one utterance, but not of wail, Though for my death--and then I speak no more. Sun! thou whose beam I shall not see again, To thee I cry, Let those whom vengeance calls To slay their kindred's slayers, quit withal The death of me, the slave, the fenceless prey. Ah state of mortal man! in time of weal, A line, a shadow! and if ill fate fall, One wet sponge-sweep wipes all our trace away-- And this I deem less piteous, of the twain. She enters the palace. CHORUS singing Too true it is! our mortal state With bliss is never satiate, And none, before the palace high And stately of prosperity, Cries to us with a voice of fear, Away! 'tis ill to enter here! Lo! this our lord hath trodden down, By grace of heaven, old Priam's town, And praised as god he stands once more On Argos' shore! Yet now--if blood shed long ago 84
Aeschylus, agamemnon Cries out that other blood shall flow-- His life-blood, his, to pay again The stern requital of the slain-- Peace to that braggart's vaunting vain, Who, having heard the chieftain's tale, Yet boasts of bliss untouched by bale! A loud cry is heard from within. VOICE OF AGAMEMNON O I am sped--a deep, a mortal blow. LEADER Listen, listen! who is screaming as in mortal agony? VOICE OF AGAMEMNON O! O! again, another, another blow! LEADER The bloody act is over--I have heard the monarch's cry-- Let us swiftly take some counsel, lest we too be doomed to die. ONE OF THE CHORUS 'Tis best, I judge, aloud for aid to call, "Ho! loyal Argives! to the palace, all!" ANOTHER Better, I deem, ourselves to bear the aid, 85
