Iphigenia: O thou most dear! Thou windest near my heart.

Orestes: And image in the web the averted sun?

Iphigenia: In the fine threads that figure did I work.

Orestes: For Aulis did thy mother bathe thy limbs?

Iphigenia: I know it, to unlucky spousals led.

Orestes: Why to thy mother didst thou send thy locks?

Iphigenia: Devoted for my body to the tomb.

Orestes: What I myself have seen I now as proofs
Will mention. In thy father's house, hung high
Within thy virgin chambers, the old spear
Of Pelops, which he brandish'd when he slew
Oenomaus, and won his beauteous bride,
The virgin Hippodamia, Pisa's boast.
