He lighted 6 on this oracle agreeably to truth. And I, therefore, am willing to plight oaths with the daemon of the Pleisthenidae, to acquiesce in these things, all hard to endure though they be; and for him, henceforth, quitting this dwelling, to wear out another race by kindred murders. And a small portion of wealth is amply sufficient for me to possess, if I have put away the phrenzy of mutual murder from the halls.

These are the oracles of truth. But hear me;
It likes me to the genius of the race
Of Plifthenes u to ſwear that what is paſt,
1745
Tho’ poor the ſatisfaction, bounds my wiſhes.
Hither he comes no more: No, let him ſtain
Some other house with gore.
For me, ſome poor,
Some ſcanty pittance of the goods contents me,
1750
Well ſatisfied that from this house I’ve driven
These frantic Furies red with kindred blood.

Se in questa sentenza t'inoltri,
compagno t'è il vero; ed io voglio
un giuro prestar, dei Plistènidi
al Dèmone: ch'io, questi mali
saprò sopportar, ben che orribili.
1845
Ma pure, oh!, da questa magione
stian lungi, la strage avvicendino,
funestino un'altra progenie.
Di beni una piccola parte
a me basterebbe,
1850
se potessi le stragi reciproche
scacciare dai tetti!

Now walks thy word aright, to tell
This ancient truth of oracle;
But I with vows of sooth will pray
1835
To him, the power that holdeth sway
O'er all the race of Pleisthenes—
Tho' dark the deed and deep the guilt,
With this last blood, my hands have spilt,
I pray thee let thine anger cease!
1840
I pray thee pass from us away
To some new race in other lands,
There, if thou wilt, to wrong and slay
The lives of men by kindred hands.
For me 'tis all sufficient meed,
1845
Tho' little wealth or power were won,
So I can say, 'Tis past and done.
The bloody lust and murderous,
The inborn frenzy of our house,
Is ended by my deed.

Wohl sprachst du mit Wahrheit, was du mir jekt
Kundthatst. Ich schwör' es dem rächenden Geist
In Pleisthenes' Haus,
Gern beug' ich dem Fluch, wie schwer er auf mir
1520
Auch laste, das Haupt, wenn fortan nur
Den Palast er verläßt, und ein andres Geschlecht
Austilgt durch stets fortzeugenden Mord.
Und wäre mir auch nur mäßiges Gut:
Mir Alles genug, wenn ich wechselnden Mords
1525
Wahnsinn von der Schwelle verscheuchte!
(Aegisthos, von Lanzenknechten gefolgt, tritt aus der Gastwohnung mit den Zeichen der königlichen Würde.)
