I have no compact with a murderer!

Enter Myrine.

Myr. Why, Galatea, what has frightened thee?

Gal. Myrine, I have that to say to thee

That thou must nerve thyself to hear. That man—

The man thou lovest—is a murderer!

Myr. Poor little maid! Pygmalion, ere he left,

Told me that by that name thou didst describe

The bravest soldier that our country owns!

He’s no assassin, he’s a warrior.
