We cannot follow the progress Of the play-the
affecting picture OF the m iiden's sacrifice, the
tumultuous storm song OF the chorus which
surges between hope and doubt while the dis
tant battle Ne wagiDg, or the ultimate triumph
announced by herald, and his account Of
Ereohtbeuss death. which ranks among the
most forceful descriptions Within our knowl-
EDGE. We have space only Tor the closing words
OF Athena, which aim to comfort the desolate
queen, and the concluding choral song. In order
that the reader may appreciate the worth OF
Swinburnes work In the dinicuh Geld OF antique
drama, we will once more place MIN sido by side
with Milton.
