Good friend ... a pagan temple, justly razed....

The Priest.

[Who has been sitting, making notes on his tablets, starts up and joins in the discussion.]

Not razed yet low enough! Not stone on stone

Should still be standing, were the city keen

On matters sacred as on secular! [The Friend looks from one to the other for explanation.]

The Schoolmaster.

Yon ruins mark the one-time templed site

Of Artemis....

The Priest.
