Du redest nicht, wie's klugen Männern ziemt, o Greis:
515
Du meinst, Aegisthos fürchtend, sei mein muthiger
Orestes heimlich angelangt in diesem Land?
Und dann sein Haar, wie glich' es meinem Haare wohl?
Er wuchs im Ringplak, edler Våter Kind, heran;
So ward es rauher: meines blieb vom Kamme zart.
520
Auch findest du bei Vielen gleiches Haar, o Greis,
Die doch von Einem Blute nicht entsprossen sind.
