Aeschylus, agamemnon What venomed essence of the earth Or dark distilment of the wave, To thee such passion gave, Nerving thine hand To set upon thy brow this burning crown, The curses of thy land? Our king by thee cut off, hewn down! Go forth-- they cry-- accurscd and forlorn, To hate and scorn! CLYTEMNESTRA O ye just men, who speak my sentence now, The city's hate, the ban of all my realm! Ye had no voice of old to launch such doom On him, my husband, when he held as light My daughter's life as that of sheep or goat, One victim from the thronging fleecy fold! Yea, slew in sacrifice his child and mine, The well-loved issue of my travail-pangs, To lull and lay the gales that blew from Thrace. That deed of his, I say, that stain and shame, Had rightly been atoned by banishment; But ye. who then were dumb, are stern to judge This deed of mine that doth afront your ears. 90
Aeschylus, agamemnon Storm out your threats, yet knowing this for sooth, That I am ready, if your hand prevail As mine now doth, to bow beneath your sway: If God say nay, it shall be yours to learn By chastisement a late humility. CHORUS chanting Bold is thy craft, and proud Thy confidence, thy vaunting loud; Thy soul, that chose a murd'ress' fate, Is all with blood elate-- Maddened to know The blood not yet avenged, the damn'ed spot Crimson upon thy brow. But Fate prepares for thee thy lot-- Smitten as thou didst smite, without a friend, To meet thine end! CLYTEMNESTRA Hear then the sanction of the oath I swear-- By the great vengeance for my murdered child, By Ate, by the Fury unto whom This man lies sacrificed by hand of mine, I do not look to tread the hall of Fear, While in this hearth and home of mine there burns 91
