Ἀγαμέμνων Aeschylus

Stasimon 6

CHOROS.
Thou rulest me with, now, 1470
 
Whose heart thou gallest!
 
And on the body, like a hateful crow,
 
Stationed, all out of tune, his chant to chant
 
Doth Something vaunt!
KLUTAIMNESTRA.
Now, of a truth, hast thou set upright 1475
 
Thy mouth’s opinion, —
 
Naming the Sprite,
 
The triply gross,
 
O’er the race that has dominion:
 
For through him it is that Eros
 
The carnage-licker
 
In the belly is bred: ere ended quite
 
Is the elder throe — new ichor! 1480
CHOROS.
Certainly, great of might
 
And heavy of wrath, the Sprite
 
Thou tellest of, in the palace
 
(Woe, woe!)
 
— An evil tale of a fate 1485
 
By Até’s malice
 
Rendered insatiate!
 
Oh, oh, —
 
King, king, how shall I beweep thee? 1490
 
From friendly soul whatever say?
 
Thou liest where webs of the spider o’ersweep thee
 
In impious death, life breathing away.
 
O me — me!
 
This couch, not free.
 
By a slavish death subdued thou art, 1495
 
From the hand, by the two-edged dart.
