AGAMEMNON.
69

How it may lasting stay well, must be counseled:
While what has need of medicines Paionian
We, either burning or else cutting kindly,
Will make endeavour pain to turn from sickness.
And now into the domes and homes by altar
Going, I to the gods first raise the right-hand—
They who, far sending, back again have brought me.
And Victory, since she followed, fixed remain she!


KLUTAIMNESTRA.

Men, citizens, Argeians here, my worships!
I shall not shame me, consort-loving manners
To tell before you: for in time there dies off
The diffidence from people. Not from others
Learning, I of myself will tell the hard life
