Come, men, the stranger speaks well. Be his guides to the altars of the city and to the sanctuaries of the gods. Do not speak at length with whomever you meet on the way while you are bringing this seafarer to be a suppliant at the hearths of the gods. Exit Danaus with attendants
Chorus
You told him, and let him go as directed.
But what of me? What am I to do? Where do you assign security to me?
King
Leave your boughs here, tokens of your distress.
Chorus
Behold, I leave them at your signal and command.
