    Wasting the Argives worn with toil and war。

    Night and great horror of the rising wave

    Came o'er us�察�and the blasts that blow from Thrace

    Clashed ship with ship�察�and some with plunging prow

    Thro' scudding drifts of spray and raving storm

    Vanished�察�as strays by some ill shepherd driven。

    And when at length the sun rose bright�察�we saw

    Th' Aegaean sea´field flecked with flowers of death��

    Corpses of Grecian men and shattered hulls。

    For us indeed�察�some god�察�as well I deem��

    No human power�察�laid hand upon our helm��

    Snatched us or prayed us from the powers of air��

    And brought our bark thro'all�察�unharmed in hull��

    And saving Fortune sat and steered us fair��

    So that no surge should gulf us deep in brine��

    Nor grind our keel upon a rocky shore。



    So 'scaped we death that lurks beneath the sea��

    But�察�under day's white light�察�mistrustful all

    Of fortune's smile�察�we sat and brooded deep��

    Shepherds forlorn of thoughts that wandered wild

    O'er this new woe�察�for smitten was our host��

    And lost as ashes scattered from the pyre。

    Of whom if any draw his life´breath yet��

    Be well assured�察�he deems of us as dead��

    As we of him no other fate forebode。

    But heaven save all� �If Menelaus live��

    He will not tarry�察�but will surely come��

    Therefore if anywhere the high sun's ray

    Descries him upon earth�察�preserved by Zeus��

    Who wills not yet to wipe his race away��

    Hope still there is that homeward he may wend。

    Enough´thou hast the truth unto the end。

                                                ��The HERALD departs。��



  CHORUS ��singing��

                                                            strophe 1



    Say�察�from whose lips the presage fell��

    Who read the future all too well��

      And named her�察�in her natal hour��

      Helen�察�the bride with war for dower

    'Twas one of the Invisible��

      Guiding his tongue with prescient power。

    On fleet�察�and host�察�and citadel��

      War�察�sprung from her�察�and death did lour��

    When from the bride´bed's fine´spun veil

    She to the Zephyr spread her sail。

    Strong blew the breeze´the surge closed oer

    The cloven track of keel and oar��

      But while she fled�察�there drove along��

      Fast in her wake�察�a mighty throng´

    Athirst for blood�察�athirst for war��

      Forward in fell pursuit they sprung��

    Then leapt on Simois' bank ashore��

      The leafy coppices among´

    No rangers�察�they�察�of wood and field��

    But huntsmen of the sword and shield。



                                                        antistrophe 1



    Heaven's jealousy�察�that works its will��

    Sped thus on Troy its destined ill��

      Well named�察�at once�察�the Bride and Bane��

      And loud rang out the bridal strain��

    But they to whom that song befell

      Did turn anon to tears again��

    Zeus tarries�察�but avenges still

      The husband's wrong�察�the household's stain��

    He�察�the hearth's lord�察�brooks not to see

    Its outraged hospitality。



    Even now�察�and in far other tone��

    Troy chants her dirge of mighty moan��

      Woe upon Paris�察�woe and hate��

      Who wooed his country's doom for mate´

    This is the burthen of the groan��

      Wherewith she wails disconsolate

    The blood�察�so many of her own

      Have poured in vain�察�to fend her fate��

    Troy� �thou hast fed and freed to roam

      A lion´cub within thy home��



                                                            strophe 2



      A suckling creature�察�newly ta'en

      From mother's teat�察�still fully fain

      Of nursing care�察�and oft caressed��

      Within the arms�察�upon the breast��

    Even as an infant�察�has it lain��

      Or fawns and licks�察�by hunger pressed��

    The hand that will assuage its pain��

      In life's young dawn�察�a well´loved guest��

    A fondling for the children's play��

    A joy unto the old and grey。



                                                        antistrophe 2



    But waxing time and growth betrays

    The blood´thirst of the lion´race��

      And�察�for the house's fostering care��

      Unbidden all�察�it revels there��

    And bloody recompense repays´

      Rent flesh of kine�察�its talons tare��

    A mighty beast�察�that slays�察�and slays��

      And mars with blood the household fair��

    A God´sent pest invincible��

    A minister of fate and hell。



                                                            strophe 3



    Even so to Ilion's city came by stealth

        A spirit as of windless seas and skies��

      A gentle phantom´form of joy and wealth��

        With love's soft arrows speeding from its eyes´

    Love's rose�察�whose thorn doth pierce the soul in subtle wise。



      Ah�察�well´a´day� �the bitter bridal´bed��

        When the fair mischief lay by Paris' side��

      What curse on palace and on people sped

        With her�察�the Fury sent on Priam's pride��

    By angered Zeus� �what tears of many a widowed bride��



                                                        antistrophe 3



      Long�察�long ago to mortals this was told��

        How sweet security and blissful state

      Have curses for their children´so men hold´

        And for the man of all´too prosperous fate

    Springs from a bitter seed some woe insatiate。



      Alone�察�alone�察�I deem far otherwise��

        Not bliss nor wealth it is�察�but impious deed��

      From which that after´growth of ill doth rise��

        Woe springs from wrong�察�the plant is like the seed´

    While Right�察�in honour's house�察�doth its own likeness breed。



                                                            strophe 4



      Some past impiety�察�some grey old crime��

        Breeds the young curse�察�that wantons in our ill��

      Early or late�察�when haps th'appointed time´

        And out of light brings power of darkness still��

    A master´fiend�察�a foe�察�unseen�察�invincible��



      A pride accursed�察�that broods upon the race

        And home in which dark Ate holds her sway´

      Sin's child and Woe's�察�that wears its parents' face��



                                                        antistrophe 4



        While Right in smoky cribs shines clear as day��

      And decks with weal his life�察�who walks the righteous way。



      From gilded halls�察�that hands polluted raise��

        Right turns away with proud averted eyes��

      And of the wealth�察�men stamp amiss with praise��

        Heedless�察�to poorer�察�holier temples hies��

    And to Fate's goal guides all�察�in its appointed wise。



    ��AGAMEMNON enters�察�riding in a chariot and accompanied by

        a great procession。 CASSANDRA follows in another chariot。

        The CHORUS sings its welcome。��



        Hail to thee�察�chief of Atreus' race��

        Returning proud from Troy subdued��

        How shall I greet thy conquering face��

        How nor a fulsome praise obtrude��

        Nor stint the meed of gratitude��

        For mortal men who fall to ill

        Take little heed of open truth��

        But seek unto its semblance still��

        The show of weeping and of ruth

        To the forlorn will all men pay��

        But�察�of the grief their eyes display��

        Nought to the heart doth pierce its way。

        And�察�with the joyous�察�they beguile

       Their lips unto a feigned smile��

       And force a joy�察�unfelt the while��

       But he who as a shepherd wise

         Doth know his flock�察�can ne'er misread

       Truth in the falsehood of his eyes��

       Who veils beneath a kindly guise

         A lukewarm love in deed。

       And thou�察�our leader´when of yore

       Thou badest Greece go forth to war

       For Helen's sake´I dare avow

       That then I held thee not as now��

       That to my vision thou didst seem

       Dyed in the hues of disesteem。

       I held thee for a pilot ill��

       And reckless�察�of thy proper will��

       Endowing others doomed to die

       With vain and forced audacity��

       Now from my heart�察�ungrudgingly��

       To those that wrought�察�this word be said´

       Well fall the labour ye have sped´

       Let time and search�察�O king�察�declare

       What men within thy city's bound

       Were loyal to the kingdom's care��

       And who were faithless found。

  AGAMEMNON ��still standing in the chariot��

    First�察�as is meet�察�a king's All´hail be said

    To Argos�察�and the gods that guard the land´

    Gods who with me availed to speed us home��

    With me availed to wring from Priam's town

    The due of justice。 In the court of heaven

    The gods in conclave sat and judged the cause��

    Not from a pleader's tongue�察�and at the close��

    Unanimous into the urn of doom

    This sentence gave�察�On Ilion and her men��

    Death�此�and where hope drew nigh to pardon's urn


    No hand there was to cast a vote therein。

    And still the smoke of fallen Ilion

    Rises in sight of all men�察�and the flame

    Of Ate's hecatomb is living yet��

    And where the towers in dusty ashes sink��

    Rise the rich fumes of pomp and wealth consumed

    For this must all men pay unto the gods

    The meed of mindful hearts and gratitude��

    For by our hands the meshes of revenge

    Closed on the prey�察�and for one woman's sake

    Troy trodden by the Argive monster lies´

    The foal�察�the shielded band that leapt the wall��

    What time with autumn sank the Pleiades。

    Yea�察�o'er the fencing wall a lion sprang

    Ravening�察�and lapped his fill of blood of kings。



    Such prelude spoken to the gods in full��

    To you I turn�察�and to the hidden thing

    Whereof ye spake but now�此�and in that thought

    I am as you�察�and what ye say�察�say I。

    For few are they who have such inborn grace��

    As to look up with love�察�an
