Attendant: Say on and make it plain, that what my tongue utters may
accord with what thou hast written.

Agamemnon: "Daughter of Leda, in addition to my first letter I now
send thee word not to despatch thy daughter to Euboea's embosomed
wing, to the to the waveless bay of Aulis; for after all we wiltlelebrate
our child's wedding at another time."

Attendant: And how will Achilles, cheated of his bride, curb the fury
of his indignation against thee and thy wife?

Agamemnon: Here also is a danger.

Attendant: Tell me what thou meanest.

Agamemnon: It is but his name, not himself, that Achilles is lending,
knowing nothing of the marriage or of my scheming or my professed
readiness to betroth my daughter to him for a husband's embrace.
