Quiet!
Euripides, Orestes 1022-1024 (Orestes to Electra; tr. Edward P. Coleridge):

Be silent! an end to womanish lamenting!C.W. Willink ad loc.:
resign yourself to your fate. It is piteous, but nevertheless
you must bear the present fate.
οὐ σῖγ᾽ ἀφεῖσα τοὺς γυναικείους γόους
στέρξεις τὰ κρανθέντ᾽; οἰκτρὰ μὲν τάδ᾽, ἀλλ᾽ ὅμως
φέρειν σ᾽ ἀνάγκη τὰς παρεστώσας τύχας.
1022 γόους MB: λόγους rell.
