      And hate that knows not fear�察�and fell device。



    At home there tarries like a lurking snake��

      Biding its time�察�a wrath unreconciled��

    A wily watcher�察�passionate to slake��

      In blood�察�resentment for a murdered child。



    Such was the mighty warning�察�pealed of yore´

      Amid good tidings�察�such the word of fear��

    What time the fateful eagles hovered o'er

      The kings�察�and Calchas read the omen clear。



    ��In strains like his�察�once more��

    Sing woe and well´a´day� �but be the issue fair�。�



                                                            strophe 2



      Zeus´if to The Unknown

        That name of many names seem good´

      Zeus�察�upon Thee I call。

        Thro' the mind's every road

      I passed�察�but vain are all��

      Save that which names thee Zeus�察�the Highest One��

        Were it but mine to cast away the load��

    The weary load�察�that weighs my spirit down。



                                                        antistrophe 2



      He that was Lord of old��

    In full´blown pride of place and valour bold��

      Hath fallen and is gone�察�even as an old tale told��

      And he that next held sway��

      By stronger grasp o'erthrown

      Hath pass'd away��

    And whoso now shall bid the triumph´chant arise

      To Zeus�察�and Zeus alone��

    He shall be found the truly wise。



                                                            strophe 3



    'Tis Zeus alone who shows the perfect way

      Of knowledge�此�He hath ruled��

    Men shall learn wisdom�察�by affliction schooled。



      In visions of the night�察�like dropping rain��

      Descend the many memories of pain

    Before the spirit's sight�此�through tears and dole

      Comes wisdom o'er the unwilling soul´

      A boon�察�I wot�察�of all Divinity��

    That holds its sacred throne in strength�察�above the sky��



                                                        antistrophe 3



    And then the elder chief�察�at whose command

      The fleet of Greece was manned��

        Cast on the seer no word of hate��

        But veered before the sudden breath of Fate´



      Ah�察�weary while� �for�察�ere they put forth sail��

      Did every store�察�each minish'd vessel�察�fail��

        While all the Achaean host

        At Aulis anchored lay��

      Looking across to Chalcis and the coast

      Where refluent waters welter�察�rock�察�and sway��



                                                            strophe 4



        And rife with ill delay

      From northern Strymon blew the thwarting blast´

        Mother of famine fell��

        That holds men wand'ring still

      Far from the haven where they fain would be� �

        And pitiless did waste

      Each ship and cable�察�rotting on the sea��

          And�察�doubling with delay each weary hour��

      Withered with hope deferred th' Achaeans' warlike flower。



        But when�察�for bitter storm�察�a deadlier relief��

        And heavier with ill to either chief��

    Pleading the ire of Artemis�察�the seer avowed��

        The two Atreidae smote their sceptres on the plain��

        And�察�striving hard�察�could not their tears restrain��



                                                        antistrophe 4



        And then the elder monarch spake aloud´

          Ill lot were mine�察�to disobey��

        And ill�察�to smite my child�察�my household's love and pride��

        To stain with virgin blood a father's hands�察�and slay

          My daughter�察�by the altar's side��

          'Twixt woe and woe I dwell´

        I dare not like a recreant fly��

    And leave the league of ships�察�and fail each true ally��

        For rightfully they crave�察�with eager fiery mind��

        The virgin's blood�察�shed forth to lull the adverse wind´

          God send the deed be well��



                                                            strophe 5



          Thus on his neck he took

          Fate's hard compelling yoke��

    Then�察�in the counter´gale of will abhorr'd�察�accursed��

        To recklessness his shifting spirit veered´

        Alas� �that Frenzy�察�first of ills and worst��

    With evil craft men's souls to sin hath ever stirred��



        And so he steeled his heart´ah�察�well´a´day´

          Aiding a war for one false woman's sake��

              His child to slay��

          And with her spilt blood make

    An offering�察�to speed the ships upon their way��



                                                        antistrophe 5



        Lusting for war�察�the bloody arbiters

    Closed heart and ears�察�and would nor hear nor heed

          The girl´voice plead��

        Pity me�察�Father� �nor her prayers��

          Nor tender�察�virgin years。

        So�察�when the chant of sacrifice was done��

        Her father bade the youthful priestly train

    Raise her�察�like some poor kid�察�above the altar´stone��

        From where amid her robes she lay

          Sunk all in swoon away´

    Bade them�察�as with the bit that mutely tames the steed��

        Her fair lips' speech refrain��

    Lest she should speak a curse on Atreus' home and seed��



                                                            strophe 6



        So�察�trailing on the earth her robe of saffron dye��

      With one last piteous dart from her beseeching eye。

        Those that should smite she smote

      Fair�察�silent�察�as a pictur'd form�察�but fain

      To plead�察�Is all forgot��

    How oft those halls of old��

    Wherein my sire high feast did hold��

      Rang to the virginal soft strain��

        When I�察�a stainless child��

      Sang from pure lips and undefiled��

        Sang of my sire�察�and all

    His honoured life�察�and how on him should fall

      Heaven's highest gift and gain��



                                                        antistrophe 6



    And then´but I beheld not�察�nor can tell��

      What further fate befell��

    But this is sure�察�that Calchas' boding strain

      Can ne'er be void or vain。

    This wage from justice' hand do sufferers earn��

      The future to discern��

    And yet´farewell�察�O secret of To´morrow��

      Fore´knowledge is fore´sorrow。

    Clear with the clear beams of the morrow's sun��

      The future presseth on。

    Now�察�let the house's tale�察�how dark soe'er��

      Find yet an issue fair� �

    So prays the loyal�察�solitary band

      That guards the Apian land。



    ��They turn to CLYTEMNESTRA�察�who leaves the altars and comes

        forward。��



  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    O queen�察�I come in reverence of thy sway´

    For�察�while the ruler's kingly seat is void��

    The loyal heart before his consort bends。

    Now´be it sure and certain news of good��

    Or the fair tidings of a flatt'ring hope��

    That bids thee spread the light from shrine to shrine��

    I�察�fain to hear�察�yet grudge not if thou hide。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    As saith the adage�察�From the womb of Night

    Spring forth�察�with promise fair�察�the young child Light。

    Ay´fairer even than all hope my news´

    By Grecian hands is Priam's city ta'en��

  LEADER

    What say'st thou�拭�doubtful heart makes treach'rous ear。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Hear then again�察�and plainly´Troy is ours��

  LEADER

    Thrills thro' heart such joy as wakens tears。

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Ay�察�thro' those tears thine eye looks loyalty。

  LEADER

    But hast thou proof�察�to make assurance sure��

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Go to�察�I have´unless the god has lied。

  LEADER

    Hath some night´vision won thee to belief��

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Out on all presage of a slumb'rous soul��

  LEADER

    But wert thou cheered by Rumour's wingless word��

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Peace´thou dost chide me as a credulous girl。

  LEADER

    Say then�察�how long ago the city fell��

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    Even in this night that now brings forth the dawn。

  LEADER

    Yet who so swift could speed the message here��

  CLYTEMNESTRA

    From Ida's top Hephaestus�察�lord of fire��

    Sent forth his sign�察�and on�察�and ever on��

    Beacon to beacon sped the courier´flame。

    From Ida to the crag�察�that Hermes loves��

    Of Lemnos�察�thence unto the steep sublime

    Of Athos�察�throne of Zeus�察�the broad blaze flared。

    Thence�察�raised aloft to shoot across the sea��

    The moving light�察�rejoicing in its strength��

    Sped from the pyre of pine�察�and urged its way��

    In golden glory�察�like some strange new sun��

    Onward�察�and reached Macistus' watching heights。

    There�察�with no dull delay nor heedless sleep��

    The watcher sped the tidings on in turn��

    Until the guard upon Messapius' peak

    Saw the far flame gleam on Euripus' tide��

    And from the high´piled heap of withered furze

    Lit the new sign and bade the message on。

    Then the strong light�察�far´flown and yet undimmed��

    Shot thro' the sky above Asopus' plain��

    Bright as the moon�察�and on Cithaeron's crag

    Aroused another watch of flying fire。

    And there the sentinels no whit disowned��

    But sent redoubled on�察�the hest of flame

    Swift shot the light�察�above Gorgopis' bay��

    To Aegiplanctus' mount�察�and bade the peak

    Fail not the onward ordinance of fire。

    And like a long beard streaming in the wind��

    Full´fed with fuel�察�roared and rose the blaze��

    And onward flaring�察�gleamed above the cape��

    Beneath which shimmers the Saronic bay��

    And thence leapt light unto Arachne's peak��

    The mountain watch that looks upon our town。

    Thence to th' Atreides' roof´in lineage fair��

    A bright posterity of Ida's fire。

    So sped from stage to stage�察�fulfilled in turn��

    Flame after flame�察�along the course ordained��

    And lo� �the last to speed upon its way

    Sights the end first�察�and glows unto the goal。

    And Troy is ta'en�察�and by this sign my lord

    Tells me the tale�察�and ye have learne
