Iphigenia: Then never, while I live,
May I revisit my loved Argos more!

Pylades: One thing, not mention'd, thy attention claims.

Iphigenia: If honour owes it, this will touch us both.

Pylades: Let me in this be pardon'd, if the bark
Be lost, and with it in the surging waves
Thy letter perish, and I naked gain
The shore; no longer binding be the oath.

Iphigenia: Know'st thou what I will do? For various ills
Arise to those that plough the dangerous deep.
What in this letter is contain'd, what here
Is written, all I will repeat to thee,
That thou mayst bear my message to my friends.
'Gainst danger thus I guard: if thou preserve
The letter, that though silent will declare
My purport; if it perish in the sea,
Saving thyself, my words too thou wilt save.
