Aeschylus

Aeschylus. The poetical works of Robert Browning, Volume 13. Browning, Robert, translator; Berdoe, Edward, editor. London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1889.

  1. Woman, thou, — of him coming new from battle
  2. Houseguard — thy husband’s bed the while disgracing, —
  3. For the Army-leader didst thou plan this fate too?
AIGISTHOS.
  1. These words too are of groans the prime-begetters!
  2. Truly a tongue opposed to Orpheus hast thou:
  3. Foi he led all things by his voice’s grace-charm,
  4. But thou, upstirring them by these wild yelpings,
  5. Wilt lead them! Forced, thou wilt appear the tamer!
