EURIPIDES.


Pylades.

Were this not better, then, than sitting still?780


Orestes.

Shall I go then?


Pylades.

Yea; for, dying, hero-like thou shalt have died.


Orestes.

Good: I 'scape the brand of "craven."


Pylades.

More than if thou here abide.


Orestes.

And the right is mine.


Pylades.

Pray only all men so may view the deed.


Orestes.

Haply some might pity—


Pylades.

Yea, thy princely birth shall strongly plead.


Orestes.

At my father's death indignant.


Pylades.

Full in view are all these things.785
