Rh

Thou shalt not stay me, neither turn aside

From asking of Electra first—her lot

In life: all touching her is dear to me.

Wedded to this man (pointing to Pyl.) happy life she hath.

And he—what land is his?—his father, who?

Strophius the Phocian is his father's name.

Ha! Atreus' daughter's son, of kin to me?

Thy cousin is he, and my one true friend.

He was unborn when my sire sought my death.

Unborn; for long time childless Strophius was.

O husband of my sister, hail to thee!

Yea, and my saviour, not my kin alone.
