No priestess, king! but Agamemnon's daughter;

While yet unknown, thou didst respect my words

A princess now—and think'st thou to command me?

From youth I have been tutor'd to obey,

My parents first and then the deity;

And thus obeying, ever hath my soul

Known sweetest freedom. But nor then nor now

Have I been taught compliance with the voice

And savage mandates of a man.
