And be the Amazons, whose maiden clan
By broad Thermodon dwells, apart from man;
Who rule themselves, from his dominion free,
And do all things he doth, better than he.
First, Amazons, your queen: to choose her now:
Who shall she be?
Ch.Thyself, thou. Who but thou?
Deidamia.
Deid.Where then were the play,250
If I should still command, and ye obey?
