    'Tis said�此�I fain would fare unvexed by fear。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Nay�察�but unsay it´thwart not thou my will��

  AGAMEMNON

    Know�察�I have said�察�and will not mar my word。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Was it fear made this meekness to the gods��

  AGAMEMNON

    If cause be cause�察�'tis mine for this resolve。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    What�察�think'st thou�察�in thy place had Priam done��

  AGAMEMNON

    He surely would have walked on broidered robes。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Then fear not thou the voice of human blame。

  AGAMEMNON

    Yet mighty is the murmur of a crowd。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Shrink not from envy�察�appanage of bliss。

  AGAMEMNON

    War is not woman's part�察�nor war of words。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Yet happy victors well may yield therein。

  AGAMEMNON

    Dost crave for triumph in this petty strife��

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Yield�察�of thy grace permit me to prevail��

  AGAMEMNON

    Then�察�if thou wilt�察�let some one stoop to loose

    Swiftly these sandals�察�slaves beneath my foot��

    And stepping thus upon the sea's rich dye��

    I pray�察�Let none among the gods look down

    With jealous eye on me´reluctant all��

    To trample thus and mar a thing of price��

    Wasting the wealth of garments silver´worth。

    Enough hereof�此�and�察�for the stranger maid��

    Lead her within�察�but gently�此�God on high

    Looks graciously on him whom triumph's hour

    Has made not pitiless。 None willingly

    Wear the slave's yoke´and she�察�the prize and flower

    Of all we won�察�comes hither in my train��

    Gift of the army to its chief and lord。

    ´Now�察�since in this my will bows down to thine��

    I will pass in on purples to my home。



    ��He descends from the chariot�察�and moves towards the palace。��



  CLYTEMNESTRA

    A Sea there is´and who shall stay its springs��

    And deep within its breast�察�a mighty store��

    Precious as silver�察�of the purple dye��

    Whereby the dipped robe doth its tint renew。

    Enough of such�察�O king�察�within thy halls

    There lies�察�a store that cannot fail�察�but I´

    I would have gladly vowed unto the gods

    Cost of a thousand garments trodden thus��

    ��Had once the oracle such gift required��

    Contriving ransom for thy life preserved。

    For while the stock is firm the foliage climbs��

    Spreading a shade�察�what time the dog´star glows��

    And thou�察�returning to thine hearth and home��

    Art as a genial warmth in winter hours��

    Or as a coolness�察�when the lord of heaven

    Mellows the juice within the bitter grape。

    Such boons and more doth bring into a home

    The present footstep of its proper lord。

    Zeus�察�Zeus�察�Fulfilment's lord� �my vows fulfil��

    And whatsoe'er it be�察�work forth thy will��

                             ��She follows AGAMEMNON into the palace。��



  CHORUS ��singing��

                                                            strophe 1



        Wherefore for ever on the wings of fear

          Hovers a vision drear

        Before my boding heart�拭�a strain��

        Unbidden and unwelcome�察�thrills mine ear��

          Oracular of pain。

        Not as of old upon my bosom's throne

          Sits Confidence�察�to spurn

          Such fears�察�like dreams we know not to discern。

    Old�察�old and grey long since the time has grown��

          Which saw the linked cables moor

      The fleet�察�when erst it came to Ilion's sandy shore��



                                                        antistrophe 1



          And now mine eyes and not another's see

            Their safe return。



          Yet none the less in me

      The inner spirit sings a boding song��

          Self´prompted�察�sings the Furies' strain´

            And seeks�察�and seeks in vain��

            To hope and to be strong��



      Ah� �to some end of Fate�察�unseen�察�unguessed��

          Are these wild throbbings of my heart and breast´

            Yea�察�of some doom they tell´

              Each pulse�察�a knell。

          Lief�察�lief I were�察�that all

      To unfulfilment's hidden realm might fall。



                                                            strophe 2



        Too far�察�too far our mortal spirits strive��

          Grasping at utter weal�察�unsatisfied´

        Till the fell curse�察�that dwelleth hard beside��

        Thrust down the sundering wall。 Too fair they blow��

          The gales that waft our bark on Fortune's tide��

          Swiftly we sail�察�the sooner an to drive

          Upon the hidden rock�察�the reef of woe。

        Then if the hand of caution warily

          Sling forth into the sea

        Part of the freight�察�lest all should sink below��

        From the deep death it saves the bark�此�even so��

          Doom´laden though it be�察�once more may rise

          His household�察�who is timely wise。



          How oft the famine´stricken field

    Is saved by God's large gift�察�the new year's yield��



                                                        antistrophe 2



            But blood of man once spilled��

         Once at his feet shed forth�察�and darkening the plain�察�

           Nor chant nor charm can call it back again。

            So Zeus hath willed��



    Else had he spared the leech Asclepius�察�skilled

        To bring man from the dead�此�the hand divine

    Did smite himself with death´a warning and a sign´



        Ah me� �if Fate�察�ordained of old��

    Held not the will of gods constrained�察�controlled��

        Helpless to us´ward�察�and apart´

        Swifter than speech my heart

    Had poured its presage out��

    Now�察�fretting�察�chafing in the dark of doubt��

        'Tis hopeless to unfold

    Truth�察�from fear's tangled skein�察�and�察�yearning to proclaim

        Its thought�察�my soul is prophecy and flame。



    ��CLYTEMNESTRA comes out of the palace and addresses CASSANDRA��

        who has remained motionless in her chariot。��



  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Get thee within thou too�察�Cassandra�察�go��

    For Zeus to thee in gracious mercy grants

    To share the sprinklings of the lustral bowl��

    Beside the altar of his guardianship��

    Slave among many slaves。 What�察�haughty still��

    Step from the car�察�Alcmena's son�察�'tis said��

    Was sold perforce and bore the yoke of old。

    Ay�察�hard it is�察�but�察�if such fate befall��

    'Tis a fair chance to serve within a home

    Of ancient wealth and power。 An upstart lord��

    To whom wealth's harvest came beyond his hope��

    Is as a lion to his slaves�察�in all

    Exceeding fierce�察�immoderate in sway。

    Pass in�此�thou hearest what our ways will be。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Clear unto thee�察�O maid�察�is her command��

    But thou´within the toils of Fate thou art´

    If such thy will�察�I urge thee to obey��

    Yet I misdoubt thou dost nor hear nor heed。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    I wot´unless like swallows she doth use

    Some strange barbarian tongue from oversea´

    My words must speak persuasion to her soul。

  LEADER

    Obey�此�there is no gentler way than this。

    Step from the car's high seat and follow her。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Truce to this bootless waiting here without��

    I will not stay�此�beside the central shrine

    The victims stand�察�prepared for knife and fire´

    Offerings from hearts beyond all hope made glad。

    Thou´if thou reckest aught of my command��

    'Twere well done soon�此�but if thy sense be shut

    From these my words�察�let thy barbarian hand

    Fulfil by gesture the default of speech。

  LEADER

    No native is she�察�thus to read thy words

    Unaided�此�like some wild thing of the wood��

    New´trapped�察�behold� �she shrinks and glares on thee。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    'Tis madness and the rule of mind distraught��

    Since she beheld her city sink in fire��

    And hither comes�察�nor brooks the bit�察�until

    In foam and blood her wrath be champed away。

    See ye to her�察�unqueenly 'tis for me��

    Unheeded thus to cast away my words。
