CHOROS.

What evil, O woman, food or drink, earth-bred

Or sent from the flowing sea,

Of such having fed

Didst thou set on thee

This sacrifice

And popular cries

Of a curse on thy head?
1410

Off thou hast thrown him, off hast cut

The man from the city: but —

Off from the city thyself shalt be

Cut — to the citizens

A hate immense!

1412

KLUTAIMNESTRA.

Now, indeed, thou adjudgest exile to me,

And citizens’ hate, and to have popular curses:

Nothing of this against the man here bringing,

Who, no more awe-checked than as ’t were a beast’s fate, —
1415

With sheep abundant in the well-fleeced graze-flocks, —

Sacrificed his child, — dearest fruit of travail

To me, — as song-spell against Threkian blowings.

Not him did it behove thee hence to banish

— Pollution’s penalty? But hearing mzy deeds
1420

Justicer rough thou art! Now, this I tell thee:

To threaten thus — me, one prepared to have thee

(On like conditions, thy hand conquering) o’er me

Rule: but if God the opposite ordain us,

Thou shalt learn — late taught, certes — to be modest.
1425

1426

CHOROS.

Greatly-intending thou art:

Much-mindful, too, hast thou cried

(Since thy mind, with its slaughter-outpouring part,

Is frantic) that over the eyes, a patch

Of blood — with blood to match —

Is plain for a pride!

Yet still, bereft of friends, thy fate

Is — blow with blow to expiate!
1430

The Agamemnon (OCR draft) Experimental (The Agamemnon. Theodore Alois Buckley, 1849.) — 1331 focus

To be thriving indeed, is by nature a glutless thing to all mortals; and none will banish and keep it from their dwelling that all point out , saying these words,

" Enter here no more."

And to this our sovereign the blessed gods have granted to capture the city of Priam; and he returns to his home honoured by heaven. Yet if now he is to pay the price of the bloodshed of his predecessors, and dying for the dead accomplish to the full the vengeance due for the deaths of others, who among mortals that hears this tale would not pray to be born with an innocuous genius ?

Mélodrame.

Du succès les mortels ne se rassasient jamais. Nul n'y renonce et, le doigt levé pour l'écarter de sa demeure, ne
lui dit : « N'entre plus ». C'est ainsi qu'à cet homme la grâce fut donnée par les dieux bienheureux de conquérir la cité de Priam ; et le voilà qui rentre en sa patrie comblé des faveurs du Ciel.

Mais, s'il doit maintenant payer le sang qu'ont répandu ses pères et, en mourant lui-même, après tant de morts,
provoquer d'autres morts, châtiment de la sienne,

By nature man is form'd with boundless wiſhes

1495

For proſperous fortune; and the great man’s door

Stands ever open to that envied perſon,

On whom ſhe ſmiles: but enter not with words,

Like this poor ſufferer, of ſuch dreadful import.

His arms the pow’rs of Heav’n have grac’d with conqueſt;
1500

Troy’s proud walls lie in duſt; and he returns

Crown’d by the Gods with glory:

but if now

His blood must for the blood there ſhed atone o

If he must die for those that died, too dearly

He buys his triumph. Who of mortal men

Hears this, and dares to think his state ſecure?

Too true it is! our mortal state

With bliss is never satiate,

And none before the palace high
1535

And stately of prosperity

Cries to us with a voice of fear

Away! 'tis ill to enter here!

Lo! this our lord hath trodden down,

By grace of heaven, old Priam's town,
1540

And praised as god he stands once more

On Argos' shore!

Yet now—if blood shed long ago

Cries out that other blood shall flow,

His life-blood, his, to pay again
1545

The stern requital of the slain—

Peace to that braggart's vaunting vain,

Who, having heard the chieftain's tale,

Yet boasts of bliss untouched by bale!

Kein Sterblicher fühlt an des Glückes Genuß

Sich jemals satt: von dem reichen Palast,

Daß er Troja bezwang,

Und zur Heimat kam, von den Göttern geehrt.

Doch wenn er jego der Ahnherrn Blut

Abbüßt, und mit Tod der Gemordeten Tod

Austilgt, um die Todten zu sühnen :

Wer rühmte sich noch, wenn er solches vernahm,

Zu harmlosem Glücke geboren?
