SCENE THE SIXTH.
Pylades, Electra.Elec.
Tell me: ah! ... Orestes? ...
Py.
The palace he surrounds with arms: our prey
Is now secure. Where is Ægisthus hidden?
Hast thou seen him?
Elec.
I saw, and I restrain'd
In vain his frantic consort: through yon door
She darted; saying that herself would be
Ægisthus shield. He thence was gone before
From forth the palace.
Py.
May he then have dared
To shew himself to the Argives? At this hour
He is no more: happy who smote him first!—
But hark! more near and louder do I hear
The people's cries.
Elec.
“Orestes!” Ah! I hope ...
Py.
Behold, he comes in all his burning fury.
