Come now, dear nurse, I pray you tell me truly, if truly he has come home, as you say, how he put forth his hands upon the shameless suitors, all alone as he was, while they remained always in a body in the house.
&quot; εἰ δ' ἄγε δή μοι , μαῖα φίλη , νημερτὲς ἐνίσπες , εἰ ἐτεὸν δὴ οἶκον ἱκάνεται , ὡς ἀγορεύεις , ὅππως δὴ μνηστῆρσιν ἀναιδέσι χεῖρας ἐφῆκε μοῦνος ἐών , οἱ δ' αἰὲν ἀολλέες ἔνδον ἔμιμνον . &quot;
&quot; εἰ δέ ἄγε δή ἐγώ , μαῖα φίλος , νημερτής ἐνέπω , εἰ ἐτεός δή οἶκος ἱκάνω , ὡς ἀγορεύω , ὅπως δή μνηστήρ ἀναιδής χείρ ἐφίημι μόνος εἰμί , ὁ δέ ἀεί ἀολλής ἔνδον μίμνω . &quot;
