Leader: Deem not my quest shall ever quit that man.

Apollo: Follow then, make thee, double toil in vain

Leader: Think not by speech mine office to curtail.

Apollo: None hast thou, that I would accept of thee!

Leader: Yea, high thine honour by the throne of Zeus:
But I, drawn on by scent of mother's blood,
Seek vengeance on this man and hound him down.
The Chorus goes in pursuit of Orestes.

Apollo: But I will stand beside him; 'tis for me
To guard my suppliant: gods and men alike
Do dread the curse of such an one betrayed,
And in me Fear and Will say Leave him not.
He goes into the temple.
