Welches Weh' ist, welcherlei Noth, 1
Welche Thrån' auf Erden so groß,
Als der eigenen Mutter Blut vergießen?
820
Solche That hat er geubt,
Und stürmt nun rasend umher,
Der Erinnyen Raub wegen des Mords,
Und ihm rollt sein Auge so wild,
Agamemnons herrlichem Sohn.
825
Elender, ha! welcher die Mutter,
Die aus golddurchwirktem Gewand
Ihm entgegenstreckte die Brust,
Ohn' Erbarmen mordete,
Also zu rächen die Schmach des Vaters!
