O beslügle den Schritt: denn die Zeit drångt!
Hinein, hinein jezt, mit lauter Klage!
O weh, weh mir!
Mich erzeugte des Atreus Sohn, 1
115
Klytamnestra gebar mich, die
Grause Tochter des Tyndaros,
Und Elektra, die arme, nennt
Mich der Bürger von Argos.
Weh, weh, trauriges Leben, weh,
120
Gråßlicher Leiden Qual!
Und du ruhest im Grabe nun,
Pater, entseelt von Aegisthos und
Deinem Weib, Agamemnon!
