Do you suppose we don’t know the reason of your. anguish ?
ZEUS
You know not: otherwise you ‘Id shriek and scream.
[*](From Euripides, according to Porson.) HERA I know that the sum and substance of your troubles is a love-affair; I don’t shriek and scream, though, because I am used to it, as you have already affronted me many a time in this way. It is likely that you have found another Danae or Semele or Europa and are plagued by love, and that you are thinking of turning into a bull or a satyr or a shower of gold, to fall down through the roof into the lap of your sweetheart, for these symptoms—groans and_tears and paleness—belong to nothing but love.
ZEUS You simple creature, to think that our circumstances permit of love-making and such pastimes !
v.2.p.95
HERA Well, if that isn’t it, what else is plaguing you ? Aren’t you Zeus?
