From out the house who hath authority;
650
The lady, if so be one ruleth here,
But, seemlier far, her lord; for then no shame
In converse makes our words obscure and dim;
But man with man gains courage to speak out,
And makes his mission manifest as day.
Enter Clytæmnestra
Clytæm. If ye need aught, O strangers, speak; for here
Is all that's fitting for a house like ours;
