No, I shall not be silent, unless you tell me where you are going.

TRYGAEUS
Why, where am I likely to be going across the sky, if it be not to
visit Zeus?

FIRST SERVANT
For what purpose?

TRYGAEUS
I want to ask him what he reckons to do for all the Greeks.

SECOND SERVANT
And if he doesn't tell you?

TRYGAEUS
I shall pursue him at law as a traitor who sells Greece to the Medes.[1]

SECOND SERVANT
Death seize me, if I let you go.

TRYGAEUS
It is absolutely necessary.

SECOND SERVANT
