But follow you.

Tantalus: If well we heed our ways,

God will protect us. Come with courage on.490

Atreus [coming upon the scene, sees Thyestes and his three sons, and gloats over the fact that his brother is at last in his power. He speaks aside]: Now is the prey fast caught within my toils.

I see the father and his hated brood,

And here my vengeful hate is safe bestowed;

For now at last he's come into my hands;

He's come, Thyestes and his children—all!495

When I see him I scarce can curb my grief,

And keep my soul from breaking madly forth.
