The city’s anger must be under it.

Cratidas. Ah me, I tremble: my poor lamb’s the cause

Of such blind fury. Bitter, is it not,

That her last kinsman, hearing, cannot help her?

Didymus. Cratidas, I would help! Read possible aid

In this firm-sinewed arm. Speak.

Cratidas. That I do,

As unto a well-wisher. I distrust

Our fickle and tempestuous populace,

Greek, Roman, Jew, Egyptian, multiform.
