Aeschylus Libation Bearers 124

ORESTES
Me to the rulers of this house announce,
For unto them, bearer of news, I come.
Haste, for Night's dusky car rolls on apace,
And time it is for weary traveller
Anchor to drop in hospitable home.
Let one in trust, a woman bearing rule,
650
Come forth; yet more decorous were a man.
For when by bashfulness the tongue is swayed
Darkened is speech ;—boldly man speaks to man,
And tells his message forth without reserve.
