Orestes: Lady, whoe'er thou art, why for these things
Dost thou lament? why mourn for ills, which soon
Will fall on us? Him I esteem unwise,
Who, when he sees death near, tries to o'ercome
Its terrors with bewailings, without hope
Of safety: ill he adds to ill, and makes
His folly known, yet dies. We must give way
To fortune; therefore mourn not thou for us:
We know, we are acquainted with your rites.

Iphigenia: Which of you by the name of Pylades
Is call'd? This first it is my wish to know.

Orestes: If aught of pleasure that may give thee, he.

Iphigenia: A native of what Grecian state, declare.

Orestes: What profit knowing this wouldst thou obtain?

Iphigenia: And are you brothers, of one mother born?
