She comes from Athens; and another, nay,

Her build is Rhodian: when as there we gazed,

Counting her ports, and wondering of her name,—

We heard men’s voices and beheld the king

Mounting the hill-side, with a stranger clad

In short Greek robes. Then ran we back to thee,

Ere we were seen, in haste; that we may hide,

And not be called within to attend the guests.

Deid. So did ye well, whoe’er it be, and best

If ’tis the prince of Melos, as I fear:
