CHORUS.

I. 1.

We that regard

The excellent wisdom of the birds of air,

Who for the nurture care

Of those they spring from — those who gave them food,

Why is it hard

For us, like them, to render good for good?

But, by the thunderbolt of sovereign Jove,

And Themis, throned above,

We scape not long!

Thou, who to mortals in the realms of death

Passest through earth, send forth thy voice, O Fame,

With piteous cry, to Atreus’ sons beneath,

Bearing thy tale of shame

Unmeet for song.

I. 2.
