Aeschylus - The Eumenides Lines 68 80 Produced By Robert Fagles Lyrics

Apollo: No, I will never fail you, through to the end your guardian standing by your side or
worlds away!
I will show no mercy to your enemies! Now look at these - Pointing to the furies.
these obscenities! - I've caught them,
beaten them down with sleep.
They disgust me. These grey, ancient children never touched by god, man or beast - the eternal virgins.
Born for destruction only, the dark pit, they range the bowels of Earth, the world of death,
loathed by men and the gods who hold Olympus.
Nevertheless keep racing on and never yield. Deep in the endless heartland they will drive you,
striding horizons, feet pounding the earth for ever, on, on over seas and cities swept by tides!
