Αἴγισθ᾽ , ὑβρίζειν ἐν κακοῖσιν οὐ σέβω.
σὺ δ᾽ ἄνδρα τόνδε φὴς ἑκὼν κατακτανεῖν,
μόνος δ᾽ ἔποικτον τόνδε βουλεῦσαι φόνον:
1615
οὔ φημ᾽ ἀλύξειν ἐν δίκῃ τὸ σὸν κάρα
δημορριφεῖς , σάφ᾽ ἴσθι , λευσίμους ἀράς.

Αἴγισθος
σὺ ταῦτα φωνεῖς νερτέρᾳ προσήμενος
κώπῃ , κρατούντων τῶν ἐπὶ ζυγῷ δορός;
γνώσῃ γέρων ὢν ὡς διδάσκεσθαι βαρὺ
1620
τῷ τηλικούτῳ , σωφρονεῖν εἰρημένον.
δεσμὸς δὲ καὶ τὸ γῆρας αἵ τε νήστιδες
δύαι διδάσκειν ἐξοχώταται φρενῶν
ἰατρομάντεις . οὐχ ὁρᾷς ὁρῶν τάδε;
πρὸς κέντρα μὴ λάκτιζε , μὴ παίσας μογῇς.

1625
γύναι , σὺ τοὺς ἥκοντας ἐκ μάχης μένων
οἰκουρὸς εὐνὴν ἀνδρὸς αἰσχύνων ἅμα
ἀνδρὶ στρατηγῷ τόνδ᾽ ἐβούλευσας μόρον;

Αἴγισθος
καὶ ταῦτα τἄπη κλαυμάτων ἀρχηγενῆ.
Ὀρφεῖ δὲ γλῶσσαν τὴν ἐναντίαν ἔχεις.
1630
ὁ μὲν γὰρ ἦγε πάντ᾽ ἀπὸ φθογγῆς χαρᾷ,
σὺ δ᾽ ἐξορίνας νηπίοις ὑλάγμασιν
ἄξῃ : κρατηθεὶς δ᾽ ἡμερώτερος φανῇ.

Αἴγισθος
τὸ γὰρ δολῶσαι πρὸς γυναικὸς ἦν σαφῶς:
ἐγὼ δ᾽ ὕποπτος ἐχθρὸς ἦ παλαιγενής.
ἐκ τῶν δὲ τοῦδε χρημάτων πειράσομαι
ἄρχειν πολιτῶν : τὸν δὲ μὴ πειθάνορα
1640
ζεύξω βαρείαις οὔτι μοι σειραφόρον
κριθῶντα πῶλον : ἀλλ᾽ ὁ δυσφιλὴς σκότῳ
