NEO. Enough. Thou hast heard my purpose clearly told.
OD. I know what power shall thwart thee in the deed.
NEO. Whose will shall hinder me?
OD. The Achaean host
And I among them.
NEO. Thou’rt sharp-witted, sure!
But little wit or wisdom show’st thou here.
OD. Neither thy words nor thy design is wise.
NEO. But if ’tis righteous, that is better far.
OD. How righteous, to release what thou hast ta’en
By my device?
NEO. I sinned a shameful sin,
And I will do mine utmost to retrieve it.
OD. How? Fear’st thou not the Achaeans in this act?
