τάχα δὲ παντελὴς χρόνος ἀμείψεται
πρόθυρα δωμάτων , ὅταν ἀφ᾽ ἑστίας
πᾶν ἐλαθῇ μύσος
καθαρμοῖσιν ἀτᾶν ἐλατηρίοις.
τύχαι δ᾽ εὐπροσωποκοῖται τὸ πᾶν
970
ἰδεῖν [ ἀκοῦσαι ] πρευμενεῖς
μετοίκοις δόμων πεσοῦνται πάλιν.

Ὀρέστης
ἴδεσθε χώρας τὴν διπλῆν τυραννίδα
πατροκτόνους τε δωμάτων πορθήτορας.
975
σεμνοὶ μὲν ἦσαν ἐν θρόνοις τόθ᾽ ἥμενοι,
φίλοι δὲ καὶ νῦν , ὡς ἐπεικάσαι πάθη
πάρεστιν , ὅρκος τ᾽ ἐμμένει πιστώμασι.
ξυνώμοσαν μὲν θάνατον ἀθλίῳ πατρὶ
καὶ ξυνθανεῖσθαι : καὶ τάδ᾽ εὐόρκως ἔχει.
980
ἴδεσθε δ᾽ αὖτε , τῶνδ᾽ ἐπήκοοι κακῶν,
τὸ μηχάνημα , δεσμὸν ἀθλίῳ πατρί,
πέδας τε χειροῖν καὶ ποδοῖν ξυνωρίδα.
ἐκτείνατ᾽ αὐτὸ καὶ κύκλῳ παρασταδὸν
στέγαστρον ἀνδρὸς δείξαθ᾽ , ὡς ἴδῃ πατήρ,

οὐχ οὑμός , ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πάντ᾽ ἐποπτεύων τάδε
Ἥλιος , ἄναγνα μητρὸς ἔργα τῆς ἐμῆς,
ὡς ἂν παρῇ μοι μάρτυς ἐν δίκῃ ποτέ,
ὡς τόνδ᾽ ἐγὼ μετῆλθον ἐνδίκως μόρον
τὸν μητρός : Αἰγίσθου γὰρ οὐ λέγω μόρον:
990
ἔχει γὰρ αἰσχυντῆρος , ὡς νόμος , δίκην:
ἥτις δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀνδρὶ τοῦτ᾽ ἐμήσατο στύγος,
