AESCHYLUS
vv. 1670–1673.

Aigisthos.

I spare thee now. Know well for all this folly thou shalt feel my power.


Leader.

Aye, vaunt thy greatness, as a bird beside his mate doth vaunt and swell.


Clytemnestra.

Vain hounds are baying round thee; oh, forget them! Thou and I shall dwell
As Kings in this great House. We two at last will order all things well.


[The Elders and the remains of Agamemnon's retinue retire sullenly, leaving the Spearmen in possession. Clytemnestra and Aigisthos turn and enter the Palace.
