SCENE III.——ERIPHYLE, CLITIDAS.
Cli. (singing). La, la, la, la. (Affecting surprise on seeing Eriphyle.) Ah!
Eri. (to Clitidas, who affects to go away). Clitidas!
Cli. I did not see, you, Madam.
Eri. Come near. Where have you been?
Cli. With the princess your mother, who was just going towards the temple of Apollo, accompanied by a great many people.
Eri. Do you not think this one of the most charming places in the world?
Cli. Certainly. The two princes, your lovers, were there.
Eri. The river Peneus has here the most charming windings.
Cli. Very charming. Sostratus was there also.
