THYESTES
departinge from the darkened dens which Ditis low doth keepe
heere I am sent out agayne from tartar dungeon deepe
heere on prynces heads they place the royall crowne
heere in throne aloft they lye
heere theyr courts theyr place of banquetting
nay better to haunt the lothsome lakes
where parched up with burning thirst amid the waves hee sits
and payes his paynefull punishment
the Gods feast hee defilde
how great a part belonges to mee and portion of his crime
this is the olde account I speake
when our detestable deedes were done
and wickednes had wearied us to late truce taken was
the starres are kinges and rule the roste
theyr whirling wheele doth racke us all
I gorgde my brest with my chyldren
the bowels of my babes devowred up
fortune enterprising greater guilt
mee doth deprave to file my daughters bawdy bed
my daughter driven by force of fates
doth breede younge bones and lades her wombe with sinfull seede of myne
a father and grandsyre confusedly I am
in honour of thy natyve day Aegisthus they prepare
the sollemne feast with juncketing and daynty tothsome fare
Agamemnon graund captayne amonge the kinges
returnde hee is to yeelde his throate to his traytresse wyfe
with force of bloudy blade shee shall bereve him of his lyfe
the glytering swerd the hewing ax and wounding weapons moe
with bloud for bloud new set abroche shall make the floore to flow
with sturdy stroke and boystrous blow of pithy pollaxe geven
his beaten braynes are pasht abroade his cracked skull is reven
what shame abashe thee why doubt to smite
thy mother it beseeme
what now nights lynger longe
wee wayght for Phoebus

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system! Dave Sewall
