Attendant: Athenian dames, where shall I find our queen,

The daughter of Erechtheus? Seeking her,
This city have I walked around in vain.

Leader of the Chorus: And for what cause, my fellow-slave? What means

Thy hasty foot? What tidings dost thou bring?

Attendant: We are discover'd; and the rulers here
Seek her, that she may die o'erwhelm'd with stones.

Leader: Ah me! what wouldst thou say? Are our designs
Of secret ruin to this youth disclosed?

Attendant: They are; and know, the worst of ills await you.

Leader: How were our dark devices brought to light?

Attendant: The god, that justice might receive no stain
Caused it to triumph o'er defeated wrong.
