To witness my great griefs. I go an exile

From this dear soil. Living, or dead, I leave

These words, the one sad memory of my name.

Chorus.

Thou hast done well; yoke not thy mouth this day

To evil words. Thou art the liberator

Of universal Argos, justly greeted,

Who from the dragon pair the head hath lopped.

[The Furies appear in the background.

Orestes.
