Stasimon 5
[Choral 2]
Have no more fear that your haughty mother will ever again trample on your rights.
Chorus
Quiet! For I see Aegisthus in plain sight.
Electra
You, young men, get back inside!
1430
Orestes
Where do you see the man?
1430
Electra
He is at our mercy walking from the suburb, full of joy.
Chorus
Go with all speed to the vestibule, so that, just as your first task prospered, so this one again may prosper now.
Orestes
Have courage. We will accomplish it.
1435
Electra
Hurry, then, to wherever you wish.
Electra
Things here will be my concern. Exeunt Orestes and Pylades, into the house.
Chorus
It would be well to whisper into this man’s ear some few words of seeming
gentleness,
so that he may rush blindly upon his trial before Justice.
1440
