Menelaus: Ye gods! what do I see? what death's-head greets my sight?

Orestes: Thou art right; I am dead through misery, though I still
gaze upon the sun.

Menelaus: How wild the look thy unkempt hair gives thee, poor wretch!

Orestes: 'Tis not my looks, but my deeds that torture me.

Menelaus: How terribly thy tearless eyeballs glare!

Orestes: My body is vanished and gone, though my name hath not yet
deserted me.

Menelaus: Unsightly apparition, so different from what I expected!

Orestes: In me behold a man that hath slain his hapless mother.
