AGAMEMNON.
From clear interpreters—a speech most seemly!
But speak thou, herald! Meneleos I ask of:
If he, returning, back in safety also
Will come with you—this land's beloved chieftain?
HERALD.
There's no way I might say things false and pleasant
For friends to reap the fruits of through a long time.
CHOROS.
How then if, speaking good, things true thou chance on?
HERALD.
For, sundered, not well-hidden things become they.
