Orestes: Thy cowardice makes thee glib; these are not thy real sentiments.

Phrygian: Why, surely she deserved it for the havoc she made of Hellas
as well as Troy?

Orestes: Swear thou art not saying this to humour me, or I will slay
thee.

Phrygian: By my life I swear,-an oath likely to be true in my case.

Orestes: Did every Phrygian in Troy show the same terror of steel
as thou dost?

Phrygian: Oh, take thy sword away! held so near it throws a horrid
gleam of blood.

Orestes: Art thou afraid of being turned to a stone, as if it were
a Gorgon thou seest?
