Help?

I'm looking for a specific translation of a greek play by Euripedes. It contains Iphigenia's monologue as seen here and here. Except, the translation I want specifically has the lines "My body is a suppliant's, tight, clinging to your knees. Do not take away this life of mine before its dying time." or something very close to that. I used it in DDF in high school, and I'd really like to find it again. Thanks to anyone who can help! *shmoosh*

possibly this? its not exact, and i don't know how close it needs to be, but maybe.

Close, but not quite. Thanks, though.
