  1. Yet nowise unavenged of gods will death be:
  2. For there shall come another, our avenger,
  3. The mother-slaying scion, father’s doomsman:
  4. Fugitive, wanderer, from this land an exile,
  5. Back shall he come, — for friends, copestone these curses!
  6. For there is sworn a great oath from the gods that
  7. Him shall bring hither his fallen sire’s prostration.
  8. Why make I then, like an indweller, moaning?
