King.

Whom speak we here? Whence come? Certes no Greeks.

Your tire rich-flaunting with barbaric pride

Bespeaks you strangers. Argos knows you not,

Nor any part of Greece. Strange surely ’tis

That all unheralded, unattended all,

And of no host the acknowledged guest, unfearing

Ye tread this land.[n19] If these boughs, woolly-wreathed,

That grace the altars of the Agonian gods

Speak what to Greeks they should speak, ye are suppliants.
