τεύχειν κακά ( Cho. 717 ), to go on doing harm, virtually means to make matters worse, since now the culprit can exult in his escape.

Chorus

Oh, oh! Alas! We have suffered, friends.
Indeed I have suffered much and all in vain.

We have suffered very painfully, oh! an unbearable evil. The beast has escaped from our nets and is gone.
Overcome by sleep, I have lost my prey.
145

149

Chorus

Oh! Child of Zeus, you have become a thief—

you, a youth, have ridden down old divinities—by showing respect to your suppliant, a godless man and cruel to a parent; although you are a god, you have stolen away a man that killed his mother.
What is there here that anyone shall call just?
150

155

Chorus

Reproach, coming to me in a dream, struck me like a charioteer with goad held tight, under my heart, under my vitals.
155

I can feel the cruel, the very cruel chill of the executioner’s destroying scourge.
160

162

Chorus

They do such things, the younger gods, who rule, wholly beyond justice, a throne dripping blood,

about its foot, about its head.
I can see the center-stone of the earth defiled with a terrible pollution of blood.
165

169

Chorus

Although he is a prophet, he has stained his sanctuary

with pollution at its hearth, at his own urging, at his own bidding; against the law of the gods, he has honored mortal things and caused the ancient allotments to decay.
170

174

Chorus

And he brings distress to me too, but he shall not win his release;

even if he escapes beneath the earth, he is never set free. A suppliant, he will acquire another avenger from his family.¹

In dreams you pursue the beast, and moan like a dog that never leaves off the care of toil. What are you doing? arise, let not toil overcome you, nor be ignorant of your loss, enfeebled by sleep. Grieve your heart by my just reproaches: for to the wise [such reproaches] are like stings. But wafting on him your bloody breath, wasting him with a fire of the entrails, follow, consume him by a second pursuit.

CHORUS

Do you rouse, and rouse her, but I [rouse] you. Dost sleep? arise, and having spurned off sleep, let us see if any of this prelude is vain.

ORESTES

Hail Pallas! Hail thou saviour of my house!

The exile, reft of his paternal land,

Thou leadest home: haply some Greek will say,

"The man an Argive is once more, and dwells

On his paternal heritage, by aid
730

Of Pallas, and of Loxias, and Him,

Third Saviour, mighty consummator, Zeus,"

Who, honouring my father's death, saves me,

Beholding these my mother's advocates.

Now to my native Argos I depart,

Pledged to this country and thy lieges here

By oath to be revered for evermore,

That never helmsman of the Argive State

Shall hither bear the well-appointed spear.

For we, ourselves, though couching in the grave,

On those who violate these present oaths
740

By sore perplexities will work, and send

In march despondency, in crossing streams

Omens averse, till they repent their toil.

But unto those who keep this pledge, and honour

Athena's city with confederate spear,

To them will we be gracious evermore.

Hail goddess, and these city-wardens, hail!

Still may your gripe be fatal to your foes,

While victory and safety crown your spear.

In dreams ye chase a prey, and like some hound,

That even in sleep doth ply his woodland toil,

Ye bell and bay. What do ye, sleeping here?

Be not o'ercome with toil, nor, sleep-subdued,
155

Be heedless of my wrong. Up! thrill your heart

With the just chidings of my tongue,—such words

Are as a spur to purpose firmly held.

Blow forth on him the breath of wrath and blood,

Scorch him with reek of fire that burns in you,
160

Waste him with new pursuit—swift, hound him down.

[ Ghost sinks.

Up ! rouse another as I rouse thee; up!

Sleep'st thou? Rise up, and spurning sleep away,

Denn scharf wie Stacheln fühlen ihn Vernünftige.

Auf, sende denn blutvollen Odems Hauch ihm nach,

Durch Qualm verzehr' ihn aus der Eingeweide Brand,

Verfolg' ihn, brich im zweiten Jagen seine Kraft!

(Verschwindet.)

Erwecke,

Die Chorführerin.
(Von ihrem Sitze aufspringend.)

Erwecke du die Andre, wie ich dich erweckt!
135

Du schläfst? Erwache! Schüttle flugs den Schlaf dir ab!

Wir wollen seh'n, ob dieses Vorspiel eitel ist.

(Die Erinnyen raffen sich auf. Ein Theil stürzt aus dem Tempel her- vor und in die Orchestra hinab; die anderen bleiben noch im Tempel. Zuerst singen nur einzelne, dann mehrere.)

Chor
Chorgesang. Erste Strophe.

Chorus Oh, oh! Alas! We have suffered, friends. Indeed I have suffered much and all in vain. We have suffered very painfully, oh! an unbearable evil. The beast has escaped from our nets and is gone. Overcome by sleep, I have lost my prey. 145

Chorus Reproach, coming to me in a dream, struck me like a charioteer with goad held tight, under my heart, under my vitals. 155 I can feel the cruel, the very cruel chill of the executioner’s destroying scourge. 160

Chorus They do such things, the younger gods, who rule, wholly beyond justice, a throne dripping blood, about its foot, about its head. I can see the center-stone of the earth defiled with a terrible pollution of blood. 165

Chorus Although he is a prophet, he has stained his sanctuary with pollution at its hearth, at his own urging, at his own bidding; against the law of the gods, he has honored mortal things and caused the ancient allotments to decay. 170

Chorus And he brings distress to me too, but he shall not win his release; even if he escapes beneath the earth, he is never set free. A suppliant, he will acquire another avenger from his family. 1 175

CHORUS Do you rouse, and rouse her, but I [rouse] you. Dost sleep? arise, and having spurned off sleep, let us see if any of this prelude is vain.

LE CORYPHÉE. Eh toi! réveille, réveille celle-là, comme je fais pour toi. Tu
