Orestes: The reason being thy refusal to help me then?

Menelaus: Thou hast me.

Orestes: Thy own cowardice has. (Calling from the roof to Electra)
Ho there! fire the palace from beneath, Electra; and, Pylades, my
trusty friend, kindle the parapet of yonder walls. (The palace is
seen to be ablaze.)

Menelaus: Help, help, ye Danai! gird on your harness and come, ye
dwellers in knightly Argos! for here is a fellow trying to wrest his
life from your whole city, though he has caused pollution by shedding
his mother's blood. (Apollo appears from above with Helen.)
