Thou too shalt taste,[n38] and not dishonoured lie,

When savoury fumes mount to our country’s dead.

Electra.

And I my whole of heritage will offer,

The blithe libations of my marriage feast.

Thy tomb before all tombs I will revere.

Orestes.

O Earth, relax thy hold, and give my father

To see the fight!

Electra.
