Wer unter euch weiß, wo die Phokergäste sind,
Die, heißt es, uns verkünden, daß Orestes jüngst
1405
Im Wagenkampfe scheitert' und das Leben ließ?
(zu Elektra)
Dich, dich, ja dich befrag' ich, die du früher stets
So trozig warest: dich am ersten kümmert's wohl;
So, denk' ich, weißt du's auch am ersten kundzuthun.
