Barbarians laws are not a standard for our city.
Andromache
Alike in Asia and in Hellas infamy attends base actions.
Hermione
Clever, clever quibbler! yet die thou must and shalt.
Andromache
Dost see the image of Thetis with her eye upon thee?
Hermione
A bitter foe to thy country because of the death of Achilles.
Andromache
Twas not I that slew him, but Helen that mother of thine.
Hermione
Pray, is it thy intention to probe my wounds yet deeper?
Andromache
Behold, I am dumb, my lips are closed.
Hermione
Tell me that which was my only reason for coming hither.
Andromache
No! all I tell thee is, thou hast less wisdom than thou needest.
Hermione
Wilt thou leave these hallowed precincts of the sea-goddess?
Andromache
Yes, if I am not to die for it; otherwise, I never will.
Hermione
Since that is thy resolve, I shall not even wait my lords return.
Andromache
Nor yet will I, at any rate ere that, surrender to thee.
Hermione
I will bring fire to bear on thee, and pay no heed to thy entreaties.
Andromache
Kindle thy blaze then; the gods will witness it.
Hermione
And make thy flesh to writhe by cruel wounds.
