"I am angry that she has acted a lie, and imposed upon me," he said.
"It was love of you that constrained her. Forgive her, Magas."

"Depart! are you about to leave Athens, my son?"
"Yes, father; it has become hateful to me, since I no longer love Chione."
"You do not intend to desert her?"
"I leave her in good hands; what can I do more?"
