{134} _The Furies start up and (still on the roller-stage) perform a FuryDance for Prelude in three short Strophes and Antistrophes. _ Our prey is gone! Apollo, ever known as a robber-god, has nowdelivered a matricide from his due doom. Even in my dreams a feelingof reproach stung me as a whip. Such are the doings of these 'youngergods. ' See Earth's Central Shrine is stained with blood, and Apollohas taken sides with a mortal against a god; but though the god may vexthem, the culprit shall not... escape. {169} _Apollo, re-appearing from the Inner Shrine, threatens the Furies withhis bow_. He bids them leave his sacred precincts and seek scenes morefitted to them.
There where heads upon the scaffold lie, And eyes are gouged and throats of men are cut, Where men are maimed and stoned to death, and groan With bitter wailing 'neath the spine impaled.
A stichomuthic contest ensues; the Furies reproach Apollo with takingthe part of a matricide. He urges she had first slain herhusband--they retort that husband is not kin, to which Apollo pleadsthe sanctity of the marriage tie; this authorized by the great exampleof Zeus and Hera, with its special patroness Cypris, this "assigned byFate and guided by the Right is more than any oath.
