Clytaemnestra: All men are naturally shy in the presence of new relations,
when these remind them of their wedding.

Achilles: Lady, I have never wooed daughter of thine, nor have the
sons of Atreus ever mentioned marriage to me.

Clytaemnestra: What can it mean? thy turn now to marvel at my words,
for thine are passing strange to me.

Achilles: Hazard a guess; that we can both do in this matter; for
it may be we are both correct in our statements.

Clytaemnestra: What! have I suffered such indignity? The marriage
I am courting has no reality, it seems; I am ashamed of it.

Achilles: Some one perhaps has made a mock of thee and me; pay no
heed thereto; make light of it.

Clytaemnestra: Farewell; I can no longer face thee with unfaltering
eyes, after being made a liar and suffering this indignity.
