Iphigenia: Mother, why so silent, thine eyes wet with tears?

Clytaemnestra: I have reason, woe is me! to be sad at heart.

Iphigenia: Forbear; make me not a coward; here in one thing obey me.

Clytaemnestra: Say what it is, my child, for at my hands thou shalt
ne'er suffer injury.

Iphigenia: Cut not off the tresses of thy hair for me, nor clothe
thyself in sable garb.

Clytaemnestra: Why, my child, What is it thou hast said? Shall I,
when I lose thee-

Iphigenia: "Lose" me, thou dost not; I am saved and thou renowned,
as far as I can make thee.

Clytaemnestra: How so? Must I not mourn thy death?
