In dark enigmas. Ye my vouchers be,

While with keen scent I snuff the breath of the past,

And point the track of monstrous crimes of eld.

There is a choir, to destiny well-tuned,

Haunts these doomed halls, no mellow-throated choir,

And they of human blood have largely drunk:

And by that wine made bold, the Bacchanals

Cling to their place of revels. The sister’d Furies

Sit on these roofs, and hymn the prime offence

Of this crime-burthened race; the brother’s sin
