My faithful brother, loved much and revered.
May Power and Justice aid thee, mighty Twain,[n21]
And a third mightier, Jove supremely great.
Orestes.
O Jove, great Jove, of all these things be thou
Spectator! And behold the orphan’d brood,
Of eagle father strangled in the folds
And deadly coil of loathly basilisk!
Them sireless see in dire starvation’s gripe,
Too weak of wing to bear unto the nest
