Electra: Unhappy enough to succumb to his misery.

Helen: Prithee, maiden, wilt hear me a moment?

Electra: Aye, with such small leisure as this watching o'er a brother
leaves.

Helen: Wilt go for me to my sister's tomb?

Electra: Wouldst have me seek my mother's tomb? And why?

Helen: To carry an offering of hair and a libation from me.

Electra: Art forbidden then to go to the tombs of those thou lovest?

Helen: Nay, but I am ashamed to show myself in Argos.

Electra: A late repentance surely for one who left her home so shamefully
then.
