  1. From clear interpreters — a speech most seemly.
  2. But speak thou, herald! Meneleos I ask of:
  3. If he, returning, back in safety also
  4. Will come with you — this land’s beloved chieftain?
HERALD.
  1. There’s no way I might say things false and pleasant
  2. For friends to reap the fruits of through a long time.
CHOROS.
