Peleus: Loose her bonds, I say, ere some one rue it; untie her folded
hands.

Menelaus: I forbid it, for besides being a match for thee, I have
a far better right to her.

Peleus: What! art thou come hither to set my house in order? Art not
content with ruling thy Spartans?

Menelaus: She is my captive; I took her from Troy.

Peleus: Aye, but my son's son received her as his prize.

Menelaus: Is not all I have his, and all his mine?

Peleus: For good, but not evil ends; and surely not for murderous
violence.

Menelaus: Never shalt thou wrest her from my grasp.
