Electra: What is this message thou hast brought from him?

Orestes: He asks, "Art thou alive? and if so, How art thou faring?"

Electra: Well, first thou seest how haggard I am grown.

Orestes: So wasted with sorrow that I weep for thee.

Electra: Next mark my head, shorn and shaven like a Scythian's.

Orestes: Thy brother's fate and father's death no doubt disturb thee.

Electra: Yes, alas! for what have I more dear than these?

Orestes: Ah! and what dost thou suppose is dearer to thy brother?

Electra: He is far away, not here to show his love to me.
