Enter Lycomedes, Ulysses, Diomede, and Abas.
Lyc. It may be so, or it may not be so:
You have done me an honest service ’gainst your will,
And must not wrest it to a false conclusion.
I bid you be my guests, and with your presence
Honour the marriage, which ye have brought about.
Ye need not tarry long.
Ul.Each hour is long
Which holds the Argive ships chained to the shore.
This is no time for marriage.
