Iphigenia: The law ordain'd in reverence we must hold.

Thoas: Are then thy lavers ready, and the sword?

Iphigenia: First I would cleanse them with ablutions pure.

Thoas: In fountain waters, or the ocean wave?

Iphigenia: All man's pollutions doth the salt sea cleanse.

Thoas: More holy to the goddess will they bleed.

Iphigenia: And better what I have in charge advance.

Thoas: Doth not the wave ev'n 'gainst the temple beat?

Iphigenia: This requires solitude: more must I do.
