Electra: Yet 'twas I that urged thee on, yea, and likewise grasped
the steel. Oh! I have done an awful deed.

Orestes: Oh! take and hide our mother's corpse beneath a pall, and
close her gaping wound. (Turning to the corpse) Ah! thy murderers
were thine own children.

Electra: (covering the corpse) There! thou corpse both loved and
loathed; still o'er thee I cast robe, to end the grievous troubles
of our house.

Chorus: See! where o'er the roof-top spirits are appearing, or gods
maybe from heaven, for this is not a road that mortals tread. Why
come they thus where mortal eyes can see them clearly? (The Dioscuri
appear from above.)
