[[SCENE V.]]
SCENE changes to another Part of the Wood.Enter Orestes, Hermione, Pylades, Iphigenia, and Greeks.
Pylad.
My brave Deliv'rer! O what Thanks, what Praise,
Can speak this glorious Rescue!
Orest.
Peace, my Friend:
75
The Field is ours: Now haste we to our Ships,
And, while the Goddess smiles, make sure our Flight.
[Exeunt.
Enter Thoas, Barzanes, and Scythians.
Thoas.
Curse on my own weak Arm, and weaker Scythians!
And sink those treacherous Barks, that turn'd their Sterns,
And left us to sustain th'unequal War!
Shall I be baffled by such puny Force?
Command our Vessels to the Harbour's Mouth;
Hang Beacons out: drain all our Forts for Aid:
My Kingdom on the Hazard:—Death, or Conquest!
[Exeunt Thoas and Barzanes severally.
