IPHIGENIA
No priestess, king! but Agamemnon's daughter;
While yet unknown, thou didst respect my words
A princess now,—and think'st thou to command me?
From youth I have been tutor'd to obey,
My parents first and then the deity;
And thus obeying, ever hath my soul
Known sweetest freedom. But nor then nor now
Have I been taught compliance with the voice
And savage mandates of a man.
THOAS
Not I,
An ancient law doth thy obedience claim.
