Orestes.
Even as he had come not, so his debt to me hath he repaid.
Pylades.
How then?—hath he set his foot in very deed this land within?
Orestes.
Late he came; but early stood convicted traitor to his kin.740
Pylades.
And his wife, arch-traitress, hath he brought her, sailing hitherward?
Orestes.
'Tis not he hath brought her, nay, 'twas she that hither brought her lord.
Pylades.
Where is she, who most of women hath the Achaians overthrown?
Orestes.
In mine house—if yonder dwelling may henceforth be called mine own.
Pylades.
Thou, what wouldst thou of thy father's brother by thy pleadings gain?745
Orestes.
That he would not see me and my sister by the people slain.
