I will go and tell Aegyptus sons about this.
King
My proud spirit will not ponder on this threat.

Herald
But that I may know and tell a plainer tale for it is fitting that a herald make exact report on each detailwhat message am I to deliver? Who is it, am I to tell on my return, that has despoiled me of this band of women, their own cousins? It is not, I suppose, by voice of witnesses that the god of battle judges cases like this;
nor is it by the gift of silver that he settles dispute; no! If that be the case, many a one shall fall and shuffle off his life.
King
My name? Why should I tell you? In due course of time you will learn it, you and your companions.
