To fix his anchor ’neath some friendly roof.

Thy mistress I would see, if here a mistress

Rules, or thy master rather, if a master.

For with a man a man may plainly deal,

But nice regard for the fine feeling ear[n51]

Oft mars the teller’s tale, when women hear.

Enter Clytemnestra.

Clytemnestra.

Strangers, speak your desire. Whate’er becomes

This house to give is free to you to share.
