Aeschylus Poems : Adulterous Murder

Chorus from The Libation Bearers

All help from him hath fled
Who with adulterous tread
Defiles another's bed.
Though many streams should pour
Their water o'er and o'er,
Those waters evermore
Are poured in vain;
They cannot cleanse the guilt
Of blood that once is spilt,
Man's hand to stain.
