Hohes Gluck und mannlicher Muth,
Die so stolz in Hellas Gebiet
795
Prangten und an Simoïs Flut,
Wandten Atreus' Sohnen sich um in Unheil,
(So wollt' ein uraltes Geschick des Hauses einst!)
Seit um den goldnen Widder im Stamme
Tantalos' Streit sich erhob,
800
Seit dem graunvoll blutigen Mahl,
Edler Söhne gråßlichem Mord:
Und jezo rastet die Schuld im Hause
Der beiden Atriden nimmer,
Blut tauschend mit Blute.
