ORESTES
Nay, mighty is Apollo's oracle
And shall not fail me, whom it bade to pass
Thro' all this peril; clear the voice rang out
With many warnings, sternly threatening
To my hot heart the wintry chill of pain,
Unless upon the slayers of my sire
I pressed for vengeance: this the god's command--
That I, in ire for home and wealth despoiled,
Should with a craft like theirs the slayers slay:
Else with my very life I should atone
This deed undone, in many a ghastly wise
For he proclaimed unto the ears of men
That offerings, poured to angry power of death,
Exude again, unless their will be done,
As grim disease on those that poured them forth--
As leprous ulcers
mounting
on the flesh
And with fell fangs corroding what of old
Wore natural form; and on the brow arise
White poisoned hairs, the crown of this disease.

Long was my night of wake at Anˁamayn
While sleepless at the
ceaseless
stars I gazed
How can I age in life while a slain man
Of Taghlib still calls for a man to slay
Now chide the eyes for tears shed over ruins
In the breast a wound is torn over Kulayb
In the breast there is a need unsatisfied
So long as a dove among the branches wails
How can he ever weep over ruined things
Who is pledged to war with men across the ages
How can I forget you Kulayb when I've not quelled
The sorrow whelming me The bloodparched rage
My heart today make good your bloodwit vow
When they ride out at dawn — retaliate
They fetch their bows and we flash lightning bolts
As stallions threatening their stallion prey
We steel ourselves beneath their flashing steel
Till they fall pounded by our long hard blades
And can keep up no more We keep attacking
For the man who keeps the field is war's true mate

Deflationary note:
While pre-Islamic tribal poetry has a number of facets to it and might be summarized very crudely as a literature of love, loss, pride and war, the social order it appears to suggest is dominated by feuding, ancient grudges and warfare in defense of honor, a world in which existence itself was a dangerous game, where stoicism and hardiness were the only bulwarks against callous fate and inevitable heartbreak.
