Ackazárpses:
I blame your enemies, Illustrious Lady, more than the gods. Why should they trouble you who are so fair and so easily hurt by their anger? It was but a little territory you took from them. How much better to lose a little territory than to be unmannerly and unkind.
Queen:
O speak not of the territory. I know naught of these things. They say my Captains took it. How should I know? O why will they be my enemies?
Ackazárpses:
You are most fair to-night, Illustrious Lady.
Queen:
I must needs be fair to-night.
Ackazárpses:
Indeed you are most fair.
