Leader: Not if Fortune guide Orestes safely on his homeward way.

Aegisthus: Ah, well I know how exiles feed on hopes of their return.

Leader: Fare and batten on pollution of the right, while 'tis thy
turn.

Aegisthus: Thou shalt pay, be w ell assured, heavy quittance for thy
pride.

Leader: Crow and strut, with her to watch thee, like a cock, his mate
beside!

Clytemnestra: Heed not thou too highly of them--let the cur-pack growl
and yell:
I and thou will rule the palace and will order all things well. (Aegisthus
and Clytemnestra move towards the palace, as the Chorus sullenly withdraws.)
