After all, my action was just.
Pylades
Pray that this may be the only view they take.
Orestes
Some one or two might pity me
Pylades
Yes, your noble birth is a great point.
Orestes
Resenting my fathers death.
Pylades
That is all quite clear.
786
Orestes
I must go, for to die ignobly is a cowards part.
Pylades
Well said.
Orestes
Shall we tell my sister?
Pylades
God forbid!
Orestes
True, there might be tears.
Pylades
That would be a grave omen.
Orestes
Yes, silence is clearly better.
Pylades
And you will gain time.
Orestes
There is only one obstacle in my way.
Pylades
What fresh objection now?
Orestes
I am afraid the goddesses will prevent me by madness.
Pylades
But I will take care of you.
