Caric. I know them both great King; That maid which shall be found to be your daughter I nourished from a child; one of this country Gave her to me in Egypt, and with her Rich costly jewels, and a Fascia, Wherein was written her high pedigree; With her I went to Greece my native country, And being priest unto Apollo there, When I was busy in the rites and customs Belonging to my office, This Thessalian, Who vaunts himself borne of Achilles line, Stole her from Delphos, and I understand Passed many dangers with her; I forgive him And crave you would be pleased to do so too; For since the gods by diverse signs and tokens Have unto us revealed their sacred wills, And made it plain by strange discoveries, Strive not to cross their workings.
