Portress: Who stands before the door? Begone from the housel stand
not at the court-yard gate, annoying my masters! otherwise shalt thou
die, for thou art a Hellene born. and with them have we no dealings.

Menelaus: Mother, herein sayest thou rightly on all points. 'Tis well;
I will obey; but moderate thy words.

Portress: Away! stranger, my orders are to admit no Hellene to this
palace.

Menelaus: Ha! do not seek to push me hence, or thrust me away by violence.

Portress: Thou dost not heed my words, and therefore hast thyself
to blame.

Menelaus: Carry my message to thy master in the palace.

Portress: Some one would rue it, methinks, were I to take thy message.
