Pylades Monologue from Iphigenia in Tauris

From Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides

male · defiant · 34 sec

Men that have found the arms of those they love Would fain long linger in the joy thereof. But we, Orestes, have no respite yet For tears or tenderness. Let us forget All but the one word Freedom, calling us To live, not die by altars barbarous. Think not of joy in this great hour, nor lose Fortune's first hold. Not thus do wise men use.
