Electra: Yes, if ever the wanderer return.

Orestes: But did thy own mother give in to this?

Electra: 'Tis her husband, not her children that a woman loves, sir
stranger.

Orestes: Wherefore did Aegisthus put this affront on thee?

Electra: His design in giving me to such a husband was to weaken my
offspring

Orestes: To prevent thee bearing sons, I suppose, who should punish
him?

Electra: That was his plan; God grant I may avenge me on him for it!

Orestes: Does thy mother's husband know that thou art yet a maid?
