Orestes: I should not grow tired if I had these wicked women to slay
for ever.

Menelaus: Art thou too, Pylades, a partner in this bloody work?

Orestes: His silence says he is; so my saying it will suffice.

Menelaus: Not without thy ruing it, unless thou take wings and fly.

Orestes: Fly we never will, but will fire the palace.

Menelaus: What! wilt thou destroy the home of thy ancestors?

Orestes: To prevent thee getting it I will, offering this maid in
sacrifice upon its flames.

Menelaus: Kill her, for thou wilt be punished by me for such a murder.
