As strong as friendship can make over to thee.
Deny me not, for I must go with thee,
And share what fate allots for thee in Greece. [Cleomenes looks discontentedly.

But let me be their pawn, as they are thine:
So I shall have thee wholly to myself,
And be thy wife, thy mother, and thy son,
As thou art all to me.
Cleom.Oh friend![Sighs, and wipes his eyes.
Clean. What wouldst thou say, my better part?
