His father’s halls with joy, and welcome
The new friend to his home.
STROPHE III.
Orestes.
If but some Lycian spear, ’neath Ilium’s walls,
Had lowly laid thee,
A mighty name in the Atridan halls
Thou wouldst have made thee!
Then hadst thou pitched thy fortune like a star,
To son and grandson shining from afar;
Beyond the wide-waved sea, the high-heaped mound
