Leader of the Chorus: Terrible alike his crime and your revenge; for
mighty is the power of justice.

Orestes: 'Tis well. Carry his body within the house and hide it, sirrahs,
that when my mother comes, she may not see his corpse before she is
smitten herself. (Pylades and the attendants take the body into the
hut.)

Electra: Hold! let us strike out another scheme.

Orestes: How now? Are those allies from Mycenae whom I see?

Electra: No, 'tis my mother, that bare me.

Orestes: Full into the net she is rushing, oh, bravely!

Electra: See how proudly she rides in her chariot and fine robes!
