Capitolo 93
ATHENA
Done exhort by any fear of other anger and decree?
CHOIR
What incitement can you/he/she goad to matricide exactly?
ATHENA
Two sustain to beg--one that only I have felt.
CHOIR
He won't swear neither it will challenge us to oath.
ATHENA
The form of the justice, not the his/her action you the willest.
CHOIR
You try you that word; you the art non scarce of the ability.
ATHENA
I say me that oaths won't strengthen the evil.
CHOIR
Then you examine the cause, judge and prize the right.
ATHENA
Does want ye to me this trust of decision then?
CHOIR
Yea, revering the true child of worthy sire.
ATHENA (_to Orestes_)
Or it equips unknown, face you declaration of turn thy
You speak before thy they disembark, lineage of thy and the pains of thy;
Then, if you the canst, dissuades this bitter blame--
If, as I hold, in the trust of right
You the hard sittest close to my holy place,
Hooking this statue, as Ixion sat,
A sacred suppliant for Zeus to clean,--
To this whole answer me in words clearly done.
ORESTES
Or Queen Athena, first from thy hard words
Desire me a great promptness removes.
Any blood-guilty is me; no ugly stain
It grabs on to thine you imagine from my hand that seizes;
Whereof a powerful test I have to say.
Here, the law is standing--the slayer of _The they won't beg,
You cultivate from his hand who cleans blood
The blood of a creature of baby sprinkles him_.
You crave since then has me this expiation--
In many a house, killed beasts and brooks in march
You/he/she has cleaned me. This way I speak away that fear.
Following, of my lineage quickly you shalts learn:
An Argive is me, and it straightens well you the know'st
My sire, that Agamemnons that it ordered
The fleet and them that went therein to wage war--
That head with who hand of thy combined to crush
To a heap of uncitied what once was Troy;
That Agamemnons, when he of return came,
Any death of honourable was brought to,
Killed by him/it dark-souled wife that produced me
To him,--enwound and killed in astute nets,
Blazoned with blood that in the laver you/he/she has raced.
