Stasimon 6
KLUTAIMNESTRA.
For through him it is that Eros
In the belly is bred: ere ended quite
Is the elder throe — new ichor!
1480
CHOROS.
Certainly, great of might
And heavy of wrath, the Sprite
Thou tellest of, in the palace
— An evil tale of a fate
1485
King, king, how shall I beweep thee?
1490
From friendly soul whatever say?
Thou liest where webs of the spider o’ersweep thee
In impious death, life breathing away.
By a slavish death subdued thou art,
1495
From the hand, by the two-edged dart.
