Songteksten

O I am struck! Struck with a mortal blow!

O struck again! Struck with a mortal blow!

Horror! Murder!

I spoke to you before; and what I spoke

Suited the time; nor shames me now to speak

Mine own refutal. For how shall we entrap

Our foe, our seeming friend, in scapeless ruin,

Save that we fence him round with nets too high

For his o’erleaping? What I did, I did

Not with a random inconsiderate blow,

But from old Hate, and with maturing Time.

Woman! What food on wide earth growing

Hast thou eaten of? What draught

From the briny ocean quaffed,

That for such deed the popular breath

Of Argos should with curses crown thee,

As a victim crowned for death?

Thou hast cast off: thou hast cut off

Thine own husband: thou shalt be

From the city of the free

Thyself a cast-off: justly hated

With staunch hatred unabated.

My sentence thou hast spoken; shameful flight,

The citizens’ hate, the people’s vengeful curse:

For him thou hast no curse, the bloody man

Who sacrificed my child, my best-beloved,

To lull the Thracian blasts asleep.

Threats I repay with threats;

If that thou canst subdue me in fair fight,

Subdue me; but if Jove for me decide,

Thou shalt be wise, when wisdom comes too late.

Thou art high and haughty-hearted,

And from lofty thoughts within thee

Mighty words are brimming o’er:

For thy sober sense is madded

With purple-dripping gore;

And thine eyes with fatness swell

From bloody feasts: but mark me well,

Time shall come, avenging Time,

And hunt thee out, and track thy crime.
