 IPHIGENEIA AT AULIS OLD SERVANT Yet without thy tent,
Agamemnon my lord, Why dost thou pace thus feverishly ? Over
Aulis yonder is night’s peace poured : They are hushed which along
the walls keep ward. Come, pass we within. AGAMEMNON I envy
thee, Ancient, and whoso unperilled may pace Life’s pathway
unheeded and unrenowned : But little I envy the high in place. OLD
SERVANT Yet the life of these is glory-crowned. AGAMEMNON Ah,
still with the glory is peril bound. Sweetly ambition tempteth, I trow
; Yet is it neighbour to sore disquiet. For the Gods’ will clasheth with
man’s will now, Wrecking his life : by men that riot With divers
desires, whom one cannot content, Now is the web of a life’s work
rent. OLD SERVANT Nay, in a king I love not this repining. Atreus
begat thee, Agamemnon, not Only to bask in days all cloudless-
shining : Needs must be joy and sorrow in thy lot. Mortal thou art:
though marred be thy designing, Still to fulfilment is the Gods’ will
brought. Thou the star-glimmer of thy lamp hast litten, Writest a
letter—in thine hand yet grasped,— Then thou erasest that which
thou hast written, Sealest, and breakest bands as soon as clasped ;

 IPHIGENEIA AT AULIS Castest to earth the pine-slip, ever
streaming 40 Tears from thine eyes; nor lacketh anything Of
madness in thy mien despairful-seeming. What is thy grief, thy
strange affliction, king ? Come, let me share thy story: to the loyal
Thou wilt reveal it, to the true and tried, Whom, at thy bridal, with
the dower royal Tyndareus sent to wait upon thy bride.
AGAMEMNON Three daughters Leda, child of Thestius, bare,
Phoebe, and Clytemnestra mine own wife, 50 And Helen. Wooing
this last, princes came In fortune foremost in all Hellas-land. With
fearful threatenings breathed they murder, each Against his rivals, if
he won her not. Then sore perplexed was Tyndareus her sire, How,
giving or refusing, he should ’scape Shipwreck: and this thing came
into his mind, That each to each the suitors should make oath, And
clasp right hands, and with burnt sacrifice Should pour drink-
offerings, and swear to this :— 60 Whose wife soever Tyndareus’
child should be, Him to defend : if any from her home Stole her and
fled, and thrust her lord aside, To march against him, and to raze his
town, Hellene or alien, with their mailed array. So when they had
pledged them thus, and cunningly Old Tyndareus had by craft
outwitted them, He let his daughter midst the suitors choose Him
unto whom Love’s sweet winds wafted her. Il

him !— Menelaus. Then from Phrygia he who judged The
Goddesses, as Argive legend tells, To Sparta came, his vesture
flower-bestarred Gleaming with gold, barbaric bravery, Loved Helen,
and was loved, stole her and fled To Ida’s steadings, when from
home afar Menelaus was. Through Hellas frenzy-stung He sped,
invoking Tyndareus’ ancient oath, Claiming of all their bond to help
the wronged. Thereat up sprang the Hellenes spear in hand, Donned
mail of fight, and to this narrow gor ye Of Auhs came, with galleys
and with shields, And many a horse and chariots many arrayed. And
me for Menelaus’ sake they chose For chief, his brother. Would some
other man Might but have won the honour in my stead ! Now when
the gathered host together came, At Aulis did we tarry weather-
bound. ‘hen the seer Calchas bade in our despair Slay Iphigeneia,
her whom I begat, To Artemis who dwelleth in this land ; So should
we voyage, and so Phrygia smite ; But if we slew her not, it should
not be. I, when I heard this, bade Talthybius Dismiss the host with
proclamation loud, Since I would never brook to slay my child.
Whereat my brother, pleading manifold pleas, To the horror thrust
me. In a tablet’s folds I wrote, and bade therein my wife to send Our
daughter, as to be Achilles’ bride, Extolled therein the hero’s high

draughts beguiled Sat side by side Protesilaus and he that was
sprung Of Poseidon’s seed, Palamedes: and there, by the strong arm
flung Of Diomede, 200 Did the discus leap, and he joyed therein ;
And hard beside him Was Meriones of the War-god’s kin— Men
