Herald, proclaim good order through the host, Then let the loud Tyrrhenian trumpet's blastThrill forth its warning to the multitude. 'Tis meet that while the judges take their seatsAll citizens keep silence and give earTo that which now and for all time to comeI have ordained, that justice may be done. CHORUS OF FURIES. (_Seeing_ APOLLO _approach_. ) Rule, Lord Apollo, o'er thy own domain. What portion hast thou in this cause of ours? APOLLO. First, as a witness in this cause I come, To say thi...s man with me took sanctuary, And that I cleansed him of the stain of blood. Next, as a party to this cause I come, Since I was the prime mover of the deed. Call on the cause, then, and let right be done. ATHENE. The cause is called, and the word rests with you. (_To the_ FURIES. ) Let the accuser first be heard and layThe cause before the court, for so is best. CHORUS. Many we are, yet brief our speech shall be;Do thou to questions plain, plain answer give;And tell us first, didst thou thy mother slay?
