ANTISTROPHE VIII

_Clytæm._ Nay, not dishonourable

His death doth seem to me:

Did he not work a doom,

In this our house with guile?[395] 1500

Mine own dear child, begotten of this man,

Iphigeneia, wept with many a tear,

He slew; now slain himself in recompense,

Let him not boast in Hell,

Since he the forfeit pays,

Pierced by the sword in death,

For all the evil that his hand began.
