Chorus: Ah, poor sufferer! victim of Heaven's vengeful hate!

Electra: Ah, misery! It seems it was a wicked utterance by a wicked
god delivered, the day that Loxias from his seat upon the tripod of
Themis decreed my mother's most unnatural murder.

Chorus: He stirs beneath his robe! Dost see?

Electra: Alas! I do; thy noisy words have roused him from his sleep.

Chorus: Nay, methinks he slumbers still.

Electra: Begone! quit the house! retrace thy footsteps! a truce to
this din!

Chorus: He sleeps. Thou art right.
