Aeschylus

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

  1. To Ilion Wrath, fulfilling her intent,
  2. This marriage-care — the rightly named so — sent:
  3. In after-time, for the tables’ abuse
  4. And that of the hearth-partaker Zeus,
  5. Bringing to punishment
  6. Those who honoured with noisy throat
  7. The honour of the bride, the hymenseal note
  8. Which did the kinsfolk then to singing urge.
