Rhádamandáspes:
We fought somewhat with your armies, Queen. But indeed it was but to practise the military art. Queen: I will call my Captains to me. I will call them down from their high places and reprove them and bid them give the country back to you that lies eastwards towards Assyria. Only you shall tarry here at the feast and forget you ever were my enemies... forget... Rhádamandáspes: Queen...! Queen...! It was my mother's country as a child. Queen: You will not leave me alone then here to-night. Rhádamandáspes: No, most royal lady. Queen: [to King of Four Countries who appears about to depart] And in the matter of the merchant men that trade amongst the isles, they shall offer spices at _your_ feet, not at mine, and the men of the isles shall offer goats to _your_ gods. |
