CHOR. Are not then suitable preparations made for these events?
ATT. Yes, the adornments[13] are ready, wherewith her husband will buryher.
CHOR. Let her know then that she will die glorious, and by far the best ofwomen under the sun.
ATT. And how not the best? wh...o will contest it? What must the woman be, whohas surpassed her? and how can any give greater proof of esteeming herhusband, than by being willing to die for him? And these things indeed thewhole city knoweth. But what she did in the house you will marvel when youhear.
