Watching to destroy.

STROPHE III.
Clytemnestra.

Death invoke not to relieve thee

From the ills that vainly grieve thee!

Nor, with ire indignant swelling,

Blame the many-murdering Helen!

Damned destruction did she none,

There, where thousands fell for one,

’Neath the walls of Troy.

ANTISTROPHE I.
