Beneficence doth no reflection need.
THOAS
'Tis needed oft, for evil springs from good.
IPHIGENIA
'Tis doubt which good doth oft to evil turn.
Consider not; act as thy feelings prompt thee.
SCENE IV
ORESTES (armed), IPHIGENIA, THOAS
ORESTES (addressing his followers)
Redouble your exertions! hold them back!
Few moments will suffice; maintain your ground,
And keep a passage open to the ship
For me and for my sister.
(To IPHIGENIA, without perceiving THOAS.)
