The Agamemnon of Aeschylus (Classic Reprint)

William Roger Paton

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from The Agamemnon of Aeschylus

I cannot, but for this our house must cry That is no longer ruled righteously. But may it soon, bringing my toils release, Light up the dark, that happy ﬂame of peace. [his gesture indicates that he has seen the and he gets up and looks in the direction of it. Hail to thee, hail! Brightener of the night, portending The light of morning and the people's wending To many a dance for this our sorrow's ending. [he leans over the wall of the tower, which faces Ho! Ho! So call I loud to Agamemnon's spouse To rise from bed, and forthright in her house Lift up her voice and sing with all her train Thanksgiving to the fire, if Troy be ta'en, And this bright message in the sky be sure; And I will foot it for their overture. My masters too are winners, I suppose, As well by this my toil's thrice happy close. Could I but see my lord come home to dwell, A'nd grasp in this the hand I love so well The rest I speak not; on my tongue a weight Lieth but could these walls articulate, They'd tell it best. Gladly if one but wot.
