SCENE THE FOURTH.
Agamemnon.Aga.
Fierce and implacable revenge of Atreus!
How dost thou live connatural with the blood
Of thy descendants! At Thyestes' name
They shudder. But ought I to be amazed,
If merely at the presence of Ægisthus
Troy's conqueror is dismay'd, that seeing him
A simple maid should fear?—If he has plotted
One nod of mine annihilates at once
Himself, and all his plots. But, is it fitting,
That, from suspicion only, I should steel
My heart against him? 'Twould be cruelty,
Thus his already intimated exile
For a few hours to hasten. If I tremble,
Lastly, is this his fault? Should he for this
Be punish'd?
