Theseus
Why do they stretch out suppliant hands to us?
Aethra
I know; but let them have the word, my son.
Theseus
I call on you, hidden beneath your cloak!
Leave off your wailing, bare your head and speak:
Nothing goes far that does not pass the tongue.
Euripides, The Suppliant Women, translated by Frank William Jones
