Text Appearing Before Image:
I wish not to exasperate, but to heal,
Misfortunes past: enough is given to vengeance ;
Let no more blood be spilt. Go then, old men,
Each to your homes; go, while ye may, in peace.
What hath been done the rigour of the times
Compelled, and hard necessity; the weight
Of these afflictions, grievous as they are,
By too severe a doom falls on our heads.
Disdain not to be taught, though by a woman.
AGAMEMNON 99
Ægis. Ay; but to hear this vain, tongue-doughty bab-
bler,
Lavish of speech that tempts to desperate deeds,
It moves me from the firmness of my temper.
Chor. An Argive scorns to fawn on guilty greatness.
Ægis. My vengeance shall oertake thee at the last.
Chor. Not if just Heaven shall guide Orestes hither.
Ægis. An exile, I well know, feeds on vain hopes.
Chor. Go on then, gorge with blood ; thou hast the
means.
Ægis. This folly, be assured, shall cost thee dear.
Chor. The craven, in her presence, rears his crest.
Cly. Slight men, regard them not; but let us enter,
Assume our state, and order all things well.
