      who should be our prey´

    O'ermastered by slumber we sank�察�and our quarry hath stolen away��



                                                        antistrophe 1



    Thou�察�child of the high God Zeus�察�Apollo�察�hast robbed us and

      wronged��

    Thou�察�a youth�察�hast down´trodden the right that to godship more

      ancient belonged��

    Thou hast cherished thy suppliant man�察�the slayer�察�the God´

      forsaken��

    The bane of a parent�察�by craft from out of our grasp thou hast

      taken��

    A god�察�thou hast stolen from us the avengers a matricide son´

    And who shall consider thy deed and say�察�It is rightfully done��



                                                            strophe 2



             The sound of chiding scorn

             Came from the land of dream��

    Deep to mine inmost heart I felt it thrill and burn��

        Thrust as a strong´grasped goad�察�to urge

          Onward the chariot's team。

        Thrilled�察�chilled with bitter inward pain

    I stand as one beneath the doomsman's scourge。



                                                        antistrophe 2



    Shame on the younger gods who tread down right��

      Sitting on thrones of might��

    Woe on the altar of earth's central fane��

          Clotted on step and shrine��

    Behold�察�the guilt of blood�察�the ghastly stain��



                                                            strophe 3



      Woe upon thee�察�Apollo� �uncontrolled��

        Unbidden�察�hast thou�察�prophet´god�察�imbrued

        The pure prophetic shrine with wrongful blood��

      For thou too heinous a respect didst hold

    Of man�察�too little heed of powers divine��

        And us the Fates�察�the ancients of the earth��

            Didst deem as nothing worth。



                                                        antistrophe 3



    Scornful to me thou art�察�yet shalt not fend

        My wrath from him�察�though unto hell he flee��

                There too are we��

        And he the blood´defiled�察�should feel and rue��

    Though I were not�察�fiend´wrath that shall not end��

      Descending on his head who foully slew。

                               ��APOLLO enters from the inner shrine。��

  APOLLO

    Out� �I command you。 Out from this my home´

    Haste�察�tarry not� �Out from the mystic shrine��

    Lest thy lot be to take into thy breast

    The winged bright dart that from my golden string

    Speeds hissing as a snake�察�lest�察�pierced and thrilled

    With agony�察�thou shouldst spew forth again

    Black frothy heart's´blood�察�drawn from mortal men��

    Belching the gory clots sucked forth from wounds。

    These be no halls where such as you can prowl´

    Go where men lay on men the doom of blood��

    Heads lopped from necks�察�eyes from their spheres plucked out��

    Hacked flesh�察�the flower of youthful seed crushed out��

    Feet hewn away�察�and hands�察�and death beneath

    The smiting stone�察�low moans and piteous

    Of men impaled´Hark�察�hear ye for what feast

    Ye hanker ever�察�and the loathing gods

    Do spit upon your craving�拭�Lo�察�your shape

    Is all too fitted to your greed�察�the cave

    Where lurks some lion�察�lapping gore�察�were home

    More meet for you。 Avaunt from sacred shrines��

    Nor bring pollution by your touch on all

    That nears yuu。 Hence� �and roam unshepherded´

    No god there is to tend such herd as you。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    O king Apollo�察�in our turn hear us。

    Thou hast not only part in these ill things��

    But art chief cause and doer of the same。

  APOLLO

    How�拭�stretch thy speech to tell this�察�and have done。

  LEADER

    Thine oracle bade this man slay his mother。

  APOLLO

    I bade him quit his sire's death�察�wherefore not��

  LEADER

    Then didst thou aid and guard red´handed crime。

  APOLLO

    Yea�察�and I bade him to this temple flee。

  LEADIER

    And yet forsooth dost chide us following him�。�

  APOLLO

    Ay´not for you it is�察�to near this fane。

  LEADER

    Yet is such office ours�察�imposed by fate。

  APOLLO

    What office�拭�vaunt the thing ye deem so fair。

  LEADER

    From home to home we chase the matricide。

  APOLLO

    What�拭�to avenge a wife who slays her lord��

  LEADER

    That is not blood outpoured by kindred hands。

  APOLLO

    How darkly ye dishonour and annul

    The troth to which the high accomplishers��

    Hera and Zeus�察�do honour。 Yea�察�and thus

    Is Aphrodite to dishonour cast��

    The queen of rapture unto mortal men。

    Know�察�that above the marriage´bed ordained

    For man and woman staddeth Right as guard��

    Enhancing sanctity of trothplight sworn��

    Therefore�察�if thou art placable to those

    Who have their consort slain�察�nor will'st to turn

    On them the eye of wrath�察�unjust art thou

    In hounding to his doom the man who slew

    His mother。 Lo�察�I know thee full of wrath

    Against one deed�察�but all too placable

    Unto the other�察�minishing the crime。

    But in this cause shall Pallas guard the right。

  LEADER

    Deem not my quest shall ever quit that man。

  APOLLO

    Follow then�察�make thee�察�double toil in vain

  LEADER

    Think not by speech mine office to curtail。

  APOLLO

    None hast thou�察�that I would accept of thee��

  LEADER

    Yea�察�high thine honour by the throne of Zeus��

    But I�察�drawn on by scent of mother's blood��

    Seek vengeance on this man and hound him down。

                             ��The CHORUS goes in pursuit of ORESTES。��

  APOLLO

    But I will stand beside him�察�'tis for me

    To guard my suppliant�此�gods and men alike

    Do dread the curse of such an one betrayed��

    And in me Fear and Will say Leave him not。

    ��He goes into the temple。��



    ��The scene changes to Athens。 In the foreground is the Temple

        of ATHENA on the Acropolis�察�her statue stands in the

        centre�察�ORESTES is seen clinging to it。��



  ORESTES

    Look on me�察�queen Athena�察�lo�察�I come

    By Loxias' behest�察�thou of thy grace

    Receive me�察�driven of avenging powers´

    Not now a red´hand slayer unannealed��

    But with guilt fading�察�half´effaced�察�outworn

    On many homes and paths of mortal men。

    For to the limit of each land�察�each sea��

    I roamed�察�obedient to Apollo's best��

    And come at last�察�O Goddess�察�to thy fane��

    And clinging to thine image�察�bide my doom。



    ��The CHORUS OF FURIES enters�察�questing like hounds。��



  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Ho� �clear is here the trace of him we seek��

    Follow the track of blood�察�the silent sign��

    Like to some hound that hunts a wounded fawn��

    We snuff along the scent of dripping gore��

    And inwardly we pant�察�for many a day

    Toiling in chase that shall fordo the man��

    For o'er and o'er the wide land have I ranged��

    And o'er the wide sea�察�flying without wings��

    Swift as a sail I pressed upon his track��

    Who now hard by is crouching�察�well I wot��

    For scent of mortal blood allures me here。

  CHORUS ��chanting��

        Follow�察�seek him´round and round

        Scent and snuff and scan the ground��

        Lest unharmed he slip away��

        He who did his mother slay��

    Hist´he is there� �See him his arms entwine

    Around the image of the maid divine´

        Thus aided�察�for the deed he wrought

        Unto the judgment wills he to be brought。



    It may not be� �a mother's blood�察�poured forth

        Upon the stained earth��

    None gathers up�此�it lies´bear witness�察�Hell� �

        For aye indelible

    And thou who sheddest it shalt give thine own

        That shedding to atone��

    Yea�察�from thy living limbs I suck it out��

        Red�察�clotted�察�gout by gout�察�

    A draught abhorred of men and gods�察�but

        Will drain it�察�suck thee dry��

    Yea�察�I will waste thee living�察�nerve and vein��

        Yea�察�for thy mother slain��

    Will drag thee downward�察�there where thou shalt dree

        The weird of agony��

    And thou and whosoe'er of men hath sinned´

        Hath wronged or God�察�or friend��

    Or parent�察�learn ye how to all and each

        The arm of doom can reach��

    Sternly requiteth�察�in the world beneath��

        The judgment´seat of Death��

    Yea�察�Death�察�beholding every man's endeavour��

        Recordeth it for ever。

  ORESTES

    I�察�schooled in many miseries�察�have learnt

    How many refuges of cleansing shrines

    And when imposeth silence。 Lo�察�I stand

    Fixed now to speak�察�for he whose word is wise

    Commands the same。 Look�察�how the stain of blood

    Is dull upon mine hand and wastes away��

    And laved and lost therewith is the deep curse

    Of matricide�察�for while the guilt was new��

    'Twas banished from me at Apollo's hearth��

    Atoned and purified by death of swine。

    Long were my word if I should sum the tale��

    How oft since then among my fellow´men

    I stood and brought no curse。 Time cleanses all´

    Time�察�the coeval of all things that are。

      Now from pure lips�察�in words of omen fair��

    I call Athena�察�lady of this land��

    To come�察�my champion�此�so�察�in aftertime��

    She shall not fail of love and service leal��

    Not won by war�察�from me and from my land

    And all the folk of Argos�察�vowed to her。

      Now�察�be she far away in Libyan land

    Where flows from Triton's lake her natal wave�察�

    Stand she with planted feet�察�or in some hour

    Of rest conceal them�察�champion of her friends

    Where'er she be�察�Or whether o'er the plain

    Phlegraean she look forth�察�as warrior bold´

    I cry to her to come�察�where'er she be��

    ��And she�察�as goddess�察�from afar can hear��

    And aid and free me�察�set among my foes。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Thee not Apollo nor Athena's strength

    Can save from perishing�察�a castaway

    Amid the Lost�察�where no delight shall meet

    Thy soul´a bloodless pr
