Theoclymenus: Woe is me! cozened by a woman's tricks! My bride hath
escaped me. If the ship could have been pursued and overtaken, I would
have used every means forthwith to catch the strangers; as it is,
I will avenge myself upon my treacherous sister, in that she saw Menelaus
in my palace and did not tell me. Wherefore shall she nevermore deceive
another by her prophetic art. (A Servant comes out of the palace.)

Servant: Ho, there! whither away so fast, my lord? on what bloody
thought intent?

Theoclymenus: Whither justice calls me. Out of my path!

Servant: I will not loose thy robe, for on grievous mischief art thou
bent.

Theoclymenus: Shalt thou, a slave, control thy master?

Servant: Yea, for I am in my senses.
