ELECTRA.

That word let her but hear, Straight she will seek me out!

OLD MAN.

The queen! What care Hath she for thee, or pain of thine?

ELECTRA.

She will; And weep my babe's low station!

OLD MAN.

Thou hast skill To know her, child; say on.

ELECTRA.

But bring her here, Here to my hand; the rest will come.

OLD MAN.

I swear, Here at the gate she shall stand palpable!

ELECTRA.

The gate: the gate that leads to me and h.e.l.l.

OLD MAN.

Let me but see it, and I die content.

ELECTRA.

First, then, my brother: see his steps be bent...

OLD MAN.

Straight yonder, where Aegisthus makes his prayer!

ELECTRA.

Then seek my mother's presence, and declare My news.

OLD MAN.

Thy very words, child, as tho' spoke From thine own lips!

ELECTRA.

Brother, thine hour is struck.

Thou standest in the van of war this day.

ORESTES (_rousing himself_).

Aye, I am ready.... I will go my way, If but some man will guide me.

OLD MAN.

Here am I, To speed thee to the end, right thankfully.

ORESTES (_turning as he goes and raising his hands to heaven_).

Zeus of my sires, Zeus of the lost battle,

ELECTRA.

Have pity; have pity; we have earned it well!

OLD MAN.

Pity these twain, of thine own body sprung!

ELECTRA.

O Queen o'er Argive altars, Hera high,

ORESTES.

Grant us thy strength, if for the right we cry.

OLD MAN.

Strength to these twain, to right their father's wrong!

ELECTRA.

O Earth, deep Earth, to whom I yearn in vain,

ORESTES.

And deeper thou, O father darkly slain,

OLD MAN.

Thy children call, who love thee: hearken thou!

ORESTES.

Girt with thine own dead armies, wake, O wake!
