Letras

I pray the gods a respite from these toils,
This long year’s watch that, dog-like, I have kept,
High on the Atridan’s battlements, beholding
The nightly council of the stars, the circling
Of the celestial signs, and those bright regents,
High-swung in ether, that bring mortal men
Summer and winter. Here I watch the torch,
The appointed flame that wings a voice from Troy,
Telling of capture; thus I serve her hopes,
The masculine-minded who is sov’reign here.
And when night-wand’ring shades encompass round
My dew-sprent dreamless couch (for fear doth sit
In slumber’s chair, and holds my lids apart),
I chaunt some dolorous ditty, making song,
Sleep’s substitute, surgeon my nightly care,
And the misfortunes of this house I weep,
Not now, as erst, by prudent counsels swayed.
Oh! soon may the wished-for sign relieve my toils,
Thrice-welcome herald, gleaming through the night!
All hail thou cresset of the dark! Fair gleam
Of day through midnight shed, all hail! Bright father
Of joy and dance, in Argos, hail! All hail!
Hillo! Hilloa!
I will go tell the wife of Agamemnon
To shake dull sleep away, and salute
This welcome beacon.
My master’s house hath had a lucky throw,
And thrice six falls to me, thanks to the flame!
Soon may he see his home; and soon may I
Carry my dear-loved master’s hand in mine!
The rest I whisper not, for on my tongue
Is laid a seal. These walls, if they could speak,
Would say strange things. Myself to those that know
Am free of speech, to whoso knows not dumb.
