SCENE THE ELEVENTH.
Scene, a magnificent apartment.CLYTEMNESTRA is discovered wounded and bleeding in a chair. On one side of her, Ægysthus in chains, guarded. On the other, Electra, fainting in the arms of her Attendants. Forwarder on the stage stands Orestes, leaning on the bosom of Pylades, his naked sword lying bloody before him.
ORESTES.
Speak not of comfort to me—there's a sight
Must banish it forever from my mind.
PYLADES.
What shall I say to soften sorrow?

Nothing.
Oh! I'm a finish'd wretch!—nor hope, nor peace
Can more be mine. Henceforth must ev'ry man,
And ev'ry God, abhor me for this deed.
