God of all paths, Apollo true to me;
What path hast led me? To what roof hast brought?
Chor. To that of the Atreidæ. This I tell,
If thou know'st not. Thou wilt not find it false.
Strophe III

Say rather to a house God hates—that knows
Murder, self-slaughter, ropes,[[354]]
[*]A human shamble, staining earth with blood.
