SCENE THE SEVENTH.

ÆGYSTHUS, ELECTRA and LYCON.
ÆGYSTHUS.
The smiling minute is at length arriv'd
That crowns my wishes. 'Twill enhance the joy
A breathless rival at my feet must give
To see yon demon made completely wretched.
O I enjoy thy anguish! ev'ry throb
Of that proud heart beats extacy to mine.
