Nay, I too, my sword unsheathing, shrink not back, though I must die.
So. Die, thou sayest. The word is welcome. Ours be now to make it good.
CI. Nay forbear, my dearest husband. Let us do no further ill.
Miseries are here to reap in plenty, a pitiable crop.
Harm enough is done already : let no blood by us be spilt.
Then if haply these afHictions prove enough, there let us stop.
Sorely smitten thus already by the heavy heel of fate.
So doth a woman' s reason coimsel, if so be that any heed.
Ae.... But for these to let their foolish tongues thus blossom into speech.
Flinging out such overweening words, as though to tempt their fate !
Ch. Never was it Argive fashion to fawn upon a villainous man.
Ae. Well, I'll visit this upon you soon or late in days to come.
Ch. That thou shalt not, if but Heaven guide Orestes back to his home.
Ae. Yes, I know full well myself how banished men will feed on hopes.
Ch. Do thy worst; wax fat, befouling righteousness, while yet thou mayest.
