Messenger: See, what a faithless race you women are!
In all that hath been done you have a part.

Leader: Sure thou art mad! what with the strangers' flight
Have we to do? But wilt thou not, with all
The speed thou mayst, go to the monarch's house?

Messenger: Not till I first am well inform'd, if here
Within the temple be the king, or not. (Shouting) Unbar the gates
(to you within I speak);
And tell your lord that at the portal here
I stand, and bring him tidings of fresh ills. (Thoas and his attendants
enter from the temple.)

Thoas: Who at the temple of the goddess dares
This clamour raise, and, thundering at the gates,
Strikes terror through the ample space within?

Messenger: With falsehoods would these women drive me hence,

Without to seek thee: thou wast in the shrine.
