                                                                    Agamemnon’s dream



                                                                marching the army on Troy,



                                                              false prophetic words by Zeus.



                                                          Like very gods in my sight the scene



                                                  sits where he can look in your eyes, who listens



                                                  close to you, to hear the soft voice, its harshness



                                                    murmuring of love, my lips are stricken to silence.



                                                        On the black earth is an array of horsemen



                                                          fled away to Troy-land, muted in thunder;



                                                            men hiding where ships will never sail.



                                                            Beneath a breast a heart is shaken,



                                                              my body pale beside the blue sea.



                                                            Helen, forsaking my lordly husband;



                                                              resigned a passionless marriage



                                                                glancing where your voice cries,



                                                                  the tenuous flame suffuses.







                                                          Oh! Handsome Trojan prince my Paris;



                                                          lovers in war tragedy become inevitable.



                                                      Menelaus and you will meet in single combat,



                                                        the solemn oaths to be sworn by both sides,



                                                              abiding by the outcome of the duel.



                                                              Nothing shows in front of my eyes



                                                                being refused the final decision,



                                                                  saved by goddess Aphrodite



                                                                    sincerely devoted to you,



                                                                      now gone before me



                                                                          armed in battle,



                                                                              victorious.
