It is annoying to have to touch a sick man.
Pylades
Not to me, when it is you.
Orestes
Beware of becoming a partner in my madness.
Pylades
Let that pass.
Orestes
You will not hesitate?
Pylades
No, for hesitation is a grave mischief among friends.
Orestes
On then, pilot of my course!
Pylades
A service I am glad to render.
Orestes
And guide me to my father’s tomb.
Pylades
For what purpose?
Orestes
That I may appeal to him to save me.
Pylades
Yes, that is the proper way.
Orestes
May I not see my mother’s grave!
Pylades
No; she was an enemy. But hasten, so that the vote of Argos may not catch you first,
supporting those limbs, slow from sickness, on mine; for I will carry you through the town, thinking little of the mob and unashamed. For how shall I prove my friendship, if not by helping you in sore distress?
Orestes
Ah! the old saying again, get friends, not relations only.
For a man who fuses into your ways, though he is an outsider, is better for a man to possess as a friend than a whole host of relations. Exeunt Orestes and Pylades.
807
Chorus
The great prosperity and the prowess, proudly boasted throughout Hellas and by the streams of Simois,
