It would not be like men of Argos to cringe before a man as low as you.
Aegisthus
Ha! I will visit you with vengeance yet in days to come.
Chorus
Not if fate shall guide Orestes to return home.
Aegisthus
From my own experience I know that exiles feed on hope.
Chorus
Keep on, grow fat, polluting justice, since you can.
Aegisthus
Know that you shall atone to me for your insolent folly.
Chorus
Brag in your bravery like a cock beside his hen.
Clytaemestra
Do no care for their idle yelpings. I and you will be masters of this house and order it aright.
