I only know they are unfortunate; Driven by the tempest on those rocks, they came For shelter here ; as strangers I relieved them ; It was my duty : if they tell me truth, Greece is their country.
Thou shalt answer for them On peril of thy life.
CLYTEMN^STRA.
Alas ! my lord, Can these poor objects raise suspicion?
^GISTHUS.
Yes: The people murmur ; everything alarms me.
CLYTEMN^STRA.
Such for these fifteen years hath been our fate, To fear, and to be feared ; the bitter poison To all my happine...ss.
--EGISTHUS.
Away, Pammenes ; Let me know who and whence they are ; why thus They come so near the palace ; from what port Their vessel sailed, and wherefore on the seas Where I command: away, and bring me word.
Orestes. 91 SCENE IV.
^EGISTHUS, CLYTEMN^STRA. JEGISTHUS.
Well, madam, to remove thy idle fears, The interpreters of heaven it seems at length Have been consulted ; but in vain : their silence Doubles thy grief, and heightens thy despair ; For to thyself, thy restless spirit ne'er Will know repose ; thou tremblest at the thought Of thy son's death, yet fearest his dangerous life : Consult no more thy doubtful oracles, And hesitating priests, that brood in secret O'er the dark bosom of futurity ; But hear ^Egisthus, he shall give thee peace, And satisfy thy soul : this hand determines, This tongue pronounces Clytemnaestra's fate: If thou wouldst live and reign, confide in me, And me alone, and let me hear no more Of your unworthy son ; but for Electra, She's to be feared, and we must think of her: Perhaps her marriage with my Plisthenes Might stop the mouth of faction, and appease The discontented people: thou wouldst wish To see the deadly hatred, that so long Hath raged between us, softened into peace; To see our interests and our hearts united : Let it be so.
