And thou, when thy ſtern part is come, be bold;
Think how in blood thy father roll’d:
And when, “my son, my son," ſhe cries,
930
To melt thy manly mind with plaintive moan,
Then to her guilty ſoul recall
Thy murder’d father’s dying groan;
And to his angry vengeance let her fall:
Like Perſeus turn thy ruthless eyes c
;
935
Just to thy friends above, thy friends below,
Aim with applauded rage the destin’d wound;
Great in thy vengeance rush upon the foe,
And ſtrike the murd'rer bleeding to the ground,

del genitore l'ultimo
grido rammenta; e affretta

Up to the deed that for thy sire is done!

The horror of man's tongue, the gods' great need!

μόρον δ' ... ἀμφέρειν: μόρον γ' Ὀρέστου Portus et Stanleius in curis secundis. Recepit hoe Blomfieldius. Non mutandum videtur δέ. Deinde ἀμφέρειν M. G. Ald. Rob. ἂν φέρειν Turn. Male Blomfieldius coniecit αὖ φέρειν scribendum esse. Hoc quoque, inquit, plenum timoris mulum domus huec referre poterit ad caedem illam quae nos vulnerat et mordet, i. e. hoc quoque nobis propter caedem illam evenit.

Conferendum quod est in Agamemnone v. 166. στάζει δ᾽ ἔν θ᾽ ὕπνῳ πρὸ καρδίας μνησιπήμων πόνος, καὶ παρ᾽ ἄκοντας ἦλθε σωφρονεῖν. Choeph. v. 354. si recte illa constitui, τί γὰρ κεύθω, φρενὸς οἷον ἔμπας πουτᾶται πάροιθε πρώρας δριμυτάκιου κραδίας θύματος ἔγκοτον στύγος; Eum. v. 358. δειματοσταγὲς ἀξιόμισον ἔθνος τόδε.

ἑλκαίνοντι καὶ δεδηγμένῳ: Scholiastes ὡς ἐπὶ μαχαίρας, οὐ παρακαλυφθέντι, ἀλλ᾽ ἀειμνήστῳ. ἐν γὰρ τοῖς θρήνοις ἀμύσσουσιν αὑτῶν τὰ στήθη. Mira interpretatio. Ελκαίνειν alibi non legitur. Δεδηγμένῳ recte videtur Schiitzius pro δεδηκότι dictum putasse. Ita φόνῳ ἑλκαίνοντι καὶ δεδηγμένῳ erit caedi vulneranti nos et mordenti.

zweites Stasimon. Mit der starken Erregung, welche durch das Gefühl hochwichtiger Entscheidung hervorgebracht wird, fleht der Chor um glückliches Vollbringen des Rachewerks: » Lafs mich, Zeus, den Sieg des Rechtes sehen. Lenke den Sturmlauf des Orestes, dafs sein Fufs nicht strauchle. Ihr, Götter des Familienschatzes, sühnt die alte Blutschuld, damit das Haus rein wird. Du, Apollon, lafs den Palast des Agamemnon wieder den heiteren Tag der Freiheit schauen nach der finsteren Umnachtung. Seinen Beistand leiste endlich Hermes, der Gott der List, der sogar zur hellen Tageszeit das Auge mit Finsternis blendet. Wenn dann der Tag der Freiheit anbricht, dann werden wir fröhlichen Sang anstimmen. Nun aber vollende du, Orestes, mutig das Werk und schaffe Genugthuung den Freunden drunten und auf der Oberwelt durch Vernichtung des Mörders." - Von den drei Strophenpaaren scheint jeder Stoichos eines zu singen, während die Ephymnien dem Gesamtchore zufallen.
