Lyc. So long hast thou been here! And I unknowing

Have pledged my kingly oath—The gods forbid—

Ach. Yet was I here because a goddess bade.

Lyc. Have I then ever seen thee?

Ach.Every hour

Thou hast seen me, and sheltered me beneath thy roof.

But since thou knewest me not, thy royal word

Was hurt not by denial.

Lyc.Who wert thou? Say.
