Euripides. The Plays of Euripides, Translated into English Prose from the Text of Paley. Vol. II. Coleridge, Edward P., translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1891.
- That I see Orestes here, Agamemnon’s son.
- What mark do you see, by which I shall be persuaded?
- A scar along his brow, where he fell and drew blood one day in his father’s home when chasing a fawn with you.
- What are you saying? I see the sign of the fall.
- Then do you hesitate to embrace your dearest one?
- Not any longer, old man; for my heart is persuaded by your tokens. O you who have appeared at last, I hold you, beyond all hope.
- And you are held by me at last.
- I never expected it.
- Nor did I hope.
