By Atreus' daughter to my blood allied<br />
ORESTES<br />
Nearly allied: my only faithful friend.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
He was not then, me when my father slew.<br />
ORESTES<br />
Childless was Strophius for some length of time.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
O thou, the husband of my sister, hail<br />
ORESTES<br />
More than relation, my preserver too.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
But to thy mother why that dreadful deed<br />
ORESTES<br />
Of that no more: to avenge my father's death.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
But for what cause did she her husband slay<br />
ORESTES<br />
Of her <strong>in</strong>quire not: thou wouldst blush to hear.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
The eyes of Argos now are raised to thee.<br />
ORESTES<br />
There Menelaus is lord; I, outcast, fly.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
Hath he then wrong'd his brother's ru<strong>in</strong>'d house<br />
ORESTES<br />
Not so: the Furies fright me from the land.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
The madness this, which seized thee on the shore<br />
ORESTES<br />
I was not first beheld unhappy there.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
Stern powers! they haunt thee for thy mother's blood.<br />
ORESTES<br />
And ruthless make me champ the bloody bit.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
Why to this region has thou steer'd thy course<br />
ORESTES<br />
Commanded <strong>by</strong> Apollo's voice, I come.<br />
IPHIGENIA<br />
With what <strong>in</strong>tent if that may be disclosed.<br />
ORESTES
