CLYTAEMNESTRA.
How now? What means this shouting in the house?
SERVANT.
It means that dead men kill and live men die.
CLYTAEMNESTRA.
Ah me! Too well I can thy riddle guess;
By treason as we slew, we shall be slain.
Fetch me the axe, which well this hand can wield,
And we will strike for death or victory,
For to this mortal issue have we come.
ORESTES.
'Tis thee I seek; thy leman has enough.
CLYTAEMNESTRA.
Ah me! Aegisthus, then, my love, is slain.
