Since me,—being third from ten,—with my poor father

He drives out—being then a babe in swathe-bands:

But, grown up, back again has justice brought me:

And of this man I got hold—being without-doors—

Fitting together the whole scheme of ill-will.

So, sweet, in fine, even to die were to me,

Seeing as I have, this man i' the toils of justice!

Cho. Aigisthos, arrogance in ills I love not.

Dost thou say—willing, thou didst kill the man here,

And, alone, plot this lamentable slaughter?
