Thoas: Where is the Grecian lady, to whose charge
This temple is committed? Have her rites
Hallow'd the strangers? Do their bodies burn
In the recesses of the sacred shrine?

Leader of the Chorus: She comes, and will inform thee, king, of all.
(Iphigenia comes out of the temple. She is carrying the sacred statue
of Diana.)

Thoas: Daughter of Agamemnon, what means this?
The statue of the goddess in thine arms
Why dost thou bear, from its firm base removed?

Iphigenia: There in the portal, monarch, stay thy step.

Thoas: What of strange import in the shrine hath chanced?

Iphigenia: Things ominous: that word I, holy, speak.
