SCENE VII.

Egisthus, Cassandra, &c. and to them Assassins sent to murder Orestes.
Egisthus.
Well, is Orestes dead?

Assassin.
Ah, Sir! escap'd—
When all was in Confusion, here, and Tumult.

Egisthus.
O nothing then is done!—Fly! tardy Villains!
Pursue him to the farthest Verge of Earth,—
No dark Retreat, no Country.—But here comes
Another Storm. Distraction wings her Pace.
