What! Are you gladdened at heart by the present news?
Chorus
Why not, if Zeus at last may cause our ill wind to change?
Nurse
But how can that be? Orestes, the hope of our house, is gone.
Chorus
Not yet; he would be a poor prophet who would so interpret.
Nurse
What are you saying? Do you know something beyond what has been told?
