Aeschylus

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

  1. Até’s insufferable child that schemes
  2. Treason beforehand: and all cure is vain.
  3. It is not hidden: out it glares again,
  4. A light dread-lamping-mischief, just as gleams
  5. The badness of the bronze;
  6. Through rubbing, puttings to the touch,
  7. Black-clotted is he, judged at once.
  8. He seeks — the boy — a flying bird to clutch,
  9. The insufferable brand
  10. Setting upon the city of his land
  11. Whereof not any god hears prayer;
  12. While him who brought about such evils there,
  13. That unjust man, the god in grapple throws.
  14. Such an one, Paris goes
  15. Within the Atreidai’s house —
  16. Shamed the guest’s board by robbery of the spouse.
