SCENE X.

Egysthus, Clytemnestra, and Arsinoe.
EGYSTHUS.
Will Agamemnon then retain his sword?


107

CLYTEMNESTRA.
He, as the king, cannot do else, I fear.

EGYSTHUS.
Gave you command that none should come with swords?

CLYTEMNESTRA.
I did.—Are you prepared?

EGYSTHUS.
I am.

Arsinoe.
(A dagger!)

CLYTEMNESTRA.
Now let us part—you know the sign.

EGYSTHUS.
—The robe.

CLYTEMNESTRA.
Be bold and resolute; we cannot fail.
