Orestes Resenting my father’s death. Pylades That is all quite clear. Orestes I must go, for to die ignobly is a coward’s 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.
