καὶ τήνδ᾽ ἀκούεις ὁρκίων ἐμῶν θέμιν·

And thou shalt hear this plea of mine oath: By the perfect vengeance of my daughter, by Atè, and Erinnys, to whom I sacrificed this man, I expect not to tread the hall of Terror, so long as Aegisthus burns fire on my hearth, well-disposed to me as heretofore: for he is to me no small shield of confidence. He lies, the marrer of this woman, the minion of the Chryseids under Ilion : and she here, his captive and soothsayer, and partner of his bed, his faithful love, the weird prophetess and sharer with him of the benches of the ships. But these twain have not done deeds without a reward. For he indeed [lies] thus; and she too, his love, having like a swan warbled her last dying wail, to me she hath brought a nuptial dainty dish 1
for my enjoyment.

par la Justice qui, de ce jour, a vengé mon enfant, par Até et par l'Érinys, à qui j'ai immolé cet homme, non, non, l'inquiétude timide n'entrera
pas dans le palais, tant que, pour allumer le feu de mon foyer, Égisthe sera là et me gardera ses bontés. Il est le large bouclier en qui je mets mon assurance 1 . Le voilà donc à terre, l'homme qui m'outragea, les délices des
Chryséis sous Ilion ! Et elle aussi, la captive, la devineresse, la voyante qu'il avait mise en son lit, la voilà donc, fidèle, partageant maintenant sa couche, comme elle avait déjà partagé son banc en mer ! Tous deux ont eu le sort qu'ils avaient mérité. Lui, est tombé sans un mot. Elle, au
contraire, comme un cygne, a gémi son suprême chant de mort, avant de s'étendre, amoureuse, à ses côtés ; et c'est à

Hear then this ſolemn oath: By that revenge,
Which for my daughter I have greatly taken;
By the dread pow’rs of Ate and Erinnys,
To whom my hand devoted him a victim,
Without a thought of fear I range these rooms,
1620
Whilſt preſent to my aid Ægiſthus ſtands,
As he hath ſtood, guarding my ſocial hearth:
He is my ſhield, my ſtrength, my confidence.
Here lies my baſe betrayer, who at Troy
Cou’d revel in the arms of each Chryſeis;
1625
He, and his captive minion;
ſhe that mark’d
Portents and prodigies, and with ominous tongue
Preſag’d the Fates; a wanton harlotry,
True to the rower’s benches: their juſt meed
1630
Have they receiv’d.
See where he lies; and ſhe,
That like the ſwan warbled her dying notes r
,
His paranymph lies with him, to my bed
Leaving the darling object of my wishes.

Odi a tua volta un mio solenne giuro.
Per la giustizia resa alla mia figlia;
1670
per la vendetta; per l'Erinni, a cui
sgozzai quest'uomo, sospetto e paura
in casa mia non entrerà, finché
sul focolare mio la fiamma accenda
Egisto, e m'ami, come adesso m'ama.
1675
Egisto è il saldo scudo in cui m'affido.
Accenna entro la reggia.
Eccoli stesi morti: l'uom che fu
la mia rovina, la delizia delle
Criseidi d'Ilio; e questa schiava, questa

Hear then the sanction of the oath I swear—
By the great vengeance for my murdered child,
1665
By Até, by the Fury unto whom
This man lies sacrificed by hand of mine,
I do not look to tread the hall of Fear,
While in this hearth and home of mine there burns
The light of love—Ægisthus—as of old
1670
Loyal, a stalwart shield of confidence—
As true to me as this slain man was false,
Wronging his wife with paramours at Troy,
Fresh from the kiss of each Chryseis there!
Behold him dead—behold his captive prize,
1675
Seeress and harlot—comfort of his bed,
True prophetess, true paramour—I wot
The sea-bench was not closer to the flesh,
Full oft, of every rower, than was she.
See, ill they did, and ill requites them now.
1680
His death ye know: she as a dying swan
Sang her last dirge, and lies, as erst she lay,
Close to his side, and to my couch has left
A sweet new taste of joys that know no fear.

Wohlan, vernimm auch meines Schwures heilig Pfand!
Bei Dike's Macht, die meines Kindes Blut gerächt,
Erinnys auch und Ate, der ich diesen hier
Geopfert: nie besorg' ich, daß bei mir die Furcht
1385
Einkehrt, solang Aegisthos, wie bisher mir hold,
Auf meines Hauses Herde noch die Flamme schürt;
Ein starker Schild des Muthes steht er neben uns.
Da liegt der Eheschänder, der mein Recht verhöhnt,
Der Chrysestöchter Augenlust vor Ilion;
1390
Da liegt die kampferrungne Zeichenschauerin,
Genossin seiner Nächte, zukunstdeutende
Getreue Buhlin, die des Schiffes Steuerbord
Mit ihm getheilt hat! Ihren Lohn empfingen sie.
Ihm wurde dieser: jene, die, dem Schwane gleich,
1395
Zum legtenmal anstimmte Todesklageton,
Ruht ihm gesellt, sein Liebchen, und gewährte so
Mir noch ein süßes Beigericht zu meiner Lust!
