Orestes: Pray thou, in gratitude for prayers fulfilled,
Fair fall the rest of what I ask of heaven.

Electra: Wherefore? what win I from the gods by prayer?

Orestes: This, that thine eyes behold thy heart's desire.

Electra: On whom of mortals know'st thou that I call?

Orestes: I know thy yearning for Orestes deep.

Electra: Say then, wherein event hath crowned my prayer?

Orestes: I, I am he; seek not one more akin.

Electra: Some fraud, O stranger, weavest thou for me?

Orestes: Against myself I weave it, if I weave.
