  1. So stands thy case, be well assured; but as for this child, my daughter shall decide
    whether she will slay him or no. Get thee hence into the house, and there learn to bridle thy insolence in speaking to the free, slave that thou art.
Andromache
  1. Alas! thou hast by treachery beguiled me; I was deceived.
Menelaus
  1. Proclaim it to the world; I do not deny it
Andromache
