Orestes: Ah, sister mine! at last I see thee again only to be robbed
in moment of thy dear love; I must leave thee, and by thee be left.

Dioscuri: Hers are a husband and a home; her only suffering this,
that she is quitting Argos.

Orestes: Yet what could call forth deeper grief than exile from one's
fatherland? I must leave my father's house, and at a stranger's bar
he sentenced for my mother's blood.

Dioscuri: Be of good cheer; go to the holy town of Pallas; keep a
stout heart only.

Electra: O my brother, best and dearest! clasp me to thy breast; for
now is the curse of our mother's blood cutting us off from the home
of our fathers.

Orestes: Throw thy arms in close embrace about me. Oh! weep as o'er
my grave when I am dead.
