Epeisodion 4
Orestes
Look at this signet, once our father’s, and know if I speak the truth.
Orestes
Blissful, I am your witness!
Electra
Is this your voice?

Orestes
Hear it from no other.

Electra
Do I hold you in my arms?
Orestes
May you hold me so always hereafter!
Electra
Ah, dear friends and fellow-citizens, see Orestes here, who was dead by design, and now by design has come safely home!
Chorus
We see him, daughter, and for this happy turn of fortune a tear of joy trickles from our eyes.
