CHORAL INTERLUDE I

_in Strophe, Antistrophe and Epode._

If my mind misleads me not, Vengeance is coming with hands that bear

the might of Righteousness; a new courage springs through my veins at

these propitious dreams, that Agamemnon will not forget for aye, nor

the axe that slew him. She too is coming, Erinnys shod with brass,

dread form with many a foot and many a hand: never will the boding sign

come falsely to those who did the deed, or men will find no prophecies

in dreams.--Ah dreadful chariot race of Pelops, foundation of all the

ills which have never since left the house. {315}
