How I was cheated, washing swaddling clothes,

And nurse and laundress did the self-same work.

I then with these my double handicrafts,

Brought up Orestes for his father dear;

And now, woe's me! I learn that he is dead,

750

And go to fetch the man that mars this house:

And gladly will he hear these words of mine.

Chor. And how equipped then doth she bid him come?

Nurse. 'How?' Speak again that I may better learn.
