Thyestes [pushing the remains of the feast from him]: Enough of food and wine! One thing alone
Can swell my generous sum of happiness—

Atreus: Believe that in the father's bosom rest
The sons; both now and ever shall they be
With thee. No single part of these thy sons
Shall e'er be taken from thee. Make request:
What thou desirest will I freely give,
And fill thee with thy loving family.
