Thrice were they almost wrecked at sea. The storm's abating : sisters, shake again The whirlwinds from your tresses !
[s/iake theh' hair. '] Enter ship. Furies oppose them.
Chorus of Furies. Upon the north wind's breath We ride, we ride ! To scourge with the scourge of death — Whom the gods chide !
Or. Oh, ye dark fates that hover round our path, I love your coming to oppose my way ! Your shrieks and curses only make me bold. Sweet comrade, know that thus the heroic live ; This grinding opposit...ion sharpens them, ORESTES 97 And hardens the resolve to fight till death. How sweet the dalliance and the flowery meads, The amaranthine dews, the rosy hours, The song eternal, and the festive dance ! But these rude winds that beat upon our track Challenge the struggle of the heroic soul, Which by that struggling rises to the gods Who dwell on far Olympus near the skies.
Pv. What is this barbarous coast ? Our food is spent. Methought I spied a curling smoke afar. Say, shall we dare the Furies once again ?
