what should a free man do

-There's only one woman's words that
should affect the mood of my husband.
Those are mine.

-Then what must a king do
to save his world
when the very laws he is sworn
to protect force him to do nothing?

-It is not a question
of what a Spartan citizen should do
nor a husband, nor a king.
Instead ask yourself, my dearest love
what should a free man do?
