On the high temples of the gods we hang

These spoils, a shining grace, there to remain

An heritage for ever.[n50] These things to hear

Shall men rejoice, and with fair praises laud

The state and its great generals, laud the grace

Of Jove the Consummator. I have said.

Chorus.

I own thy speech the conqueror; for a man

Can never be too old to learn good news,

And though thy words touch Clytemnestra most,
