Electra: Still, if thou avenge not thy father, thou wilt fail in thy
duty.

Orestes: And if I slay my mother, I must pay the penalty to her.

Electra: And so must thou to him, if thou resign the avenging of our
father.

Orestes: Surely it was a fiend in the likeness of the god that ordered
this!

Electra: Seated on the holy tripod? I think not so.

Orestes: I cannot believe this oracle was meant.

Electra: Turn not coward! Cast not thy manliness away!

Orestes: Am I to devise the same crafty scheme for her?
