KLUTAIMNESTRA.
Thou boastest this deed to be mine:
But leave off styling me
"The Agamemnonian wife! "
For, showing himself in sign
Of the spouse of the corpse thou dost see,
Did the ancient bitter avenging-ghost
Of Atreus, savage host,
Pay the man here as price --
A full-grown for the young one's sacrifice.
The Poetical Works of Robert Browning, volume 13. Robert Browning. London. Smith, Elder, and Co. 1889.
