Aeschylus, agamemnon<br />
CLYTEMNESTRA<br />
Nay, but unsay it-thwart not thou my will!<br />
AGAMEMNON<br />
Know, I have said, and will not mar my word.<br />
CLYTEMNESTRA<br />

AGAMEMNON<br />
If cause be cause, 'tis mine for this resolve.<br />
CLYTEMNESTRA<br />
What, think'st thou, in thy place had Priam done?<br />
AGAMEMNON<br />
He surely would have walked on broidered robes.<br />
CLYTEMNESTRA<br />

AGAMEMNON<br />
Yet mighty is the murmur of a crowd.<br />
CLYTEMNESTRA<br />
Shrink not from envy, appanage of bliss.<br />
