Orestes: Who then shall do the dreadful deed, and slay me?

Iphigenia: I: to atone the goddess is my charge.

Orestes: A charge unenvied, virgin, and unbless'd.

Iphigenia: Necessity constrains: I must obey.

Orestes: Wilt thou, a woman, plunge the sword in men?

Iphigenia: No: but thy locks to sprinkle round is mine.

Orestes: Whose then, if I may ask, the bloody deed?

Iphigenia: To some within the temple this belongs.

Orestes: What tomb is destined to receive my corse?
