Can’st make thy will a deed.
Apollo.
Fear nought. Trust me.
[To Hermes] And thou, true brother’s blood, true father’s son,
Hermes, attend, and to this mission gird thee.
Fulfil the happy omen of thy name,
The Guide,[f10] and guide this suppliant on his way.
For Jove respects thy function and thy pride,
The prosperous convoy, and the faithful guide.
[Exit Hermes, leading Orestes. Apollo retires.
