ORESTES
Hear then, in brief;— Sister, go thou within;
But you I counsel to conceal my plans.
For as with guile an honoured man they slew,
Themselves with guile shall be entrapped, and die
In the same toils, foretold by Loxias,
Apollo Lord, no faithless seer of yore.—
550
For I, equipped for travel, with this man,
With Pylades, will reach the outer gate;
I as a stranger;-he as ransom-friend ;-
Familiar both with the Parnassian speech,
The tongue of Phocis we will imitate.
And if no friendly warder, on the plea
That by dire evils is the house possessed,
Will give us entrance, we without will bide,
Until some passer guess our plight, and say,
"If that Ægisthos knoweth, being at home,
560
Why 'gainst the suppliant doth he shut the door?"
If, passing then the threshold of the gates,
Him I discover on my father's seat,-
Or should he meet me face to face, and set
His eyes on me, ere he can speak the word,
"Whence is this stranger?"—I will lay him dead,
Spitting his body round my nimble steel.
The Fury thus, of gore insatiate,
Shall blood untempered quaff, third, crowning draught.
[To ELECTRA.]
Go thou,-keep watchful guard within the house,
570
That all, well ordered, fitly may combine.
[To the Chorus.]
To you a tongue of wisdom I commend,
To speak in season, or from speech refrain.-
[To PYLADES.]
And for the rest let this man look to it,
When in the strife of swords this arm hath won.

Thou biddest; I will speak my soul's thought out,
Revering as a shrine thy father's grave.

Ich rede, (du gebeutst ja,) wie's vom Herzen kommt;
Denn als Altar verehr' ich deines Vaters Grab.
