Ye hapless dames!
Theseus
Thou art not of their company.
Aethra
May I a scheme declare, my son, that shall add to thy glory and the states?
Theseus
Yea, for oft even from womens lips issue wise counsels.
Aethra
Yet the word, that lurks within my heart, makes me hesitate.
Theseus
Shame! to hide from friends good counsel.
Aethra
Nay then, I will not hold my peace to blame myself hereafter for having now kept silence to my shame, nor will I forego my honourable proposal, from the common fear
that it is useless for women to give good advice. First, my son, I exhort thee give good heed to heavens will, lest from slighting it thou suffer shipwreck; [*] for in this one single point thou failest, though well-advised in all else. Further, I would have patiently endured, had it not been my duty
