lament alike the dead and me; for on all of us hath Hera inflicted the
same cruel blow of destruction。
THESEUS
Rise; unhappy man! thou hast had thy fill of tears。
HERACLES
I cannot rise; my limbs are rooted here。
THESEUS
Yea; even the strong are o'erthrown by misfortunes。
HERACLES
Ah! would I could grow into a stone upon this spot; oblivious of
trouble!
THESEUS
Peace! give thy hand to a friend and helper。
HERACLES
Nay; let me not wipe off the blood upon thy robe。
THESEUS
Wipe it off and spare not; I will not say thee nay。
HERACLES
Reft of my own sons; I find thee as a son to me。
THESEUS
Throw thy arm about my neck; I will be thy guide。
HERACLES
A pair of friends in sooth are we; but one a man of sorrows。 Ah!
aged sire; this is the kind of man to make a friend。
AMPHITRYON
Blest in her sons; the country that gave him birth!
HERACLES
O Theseus; turn me back again to see my babes。
THESEUS
What charm dost think to find in this to soothe thy soul?
HERACLES
I long to do so; and would fain embrace my sire。
AMPHITRYON
Here am I; my son; thy wish is no less dear to me。
THESEUS
Hast thou so short a memory for thy troubles?
HERACLES
All that I endured of yore was easier to bear than this。
THESEUS
If men see thee play the woman; they will scoff。
HERACLES
Have I by living grown so abject in thy sight? 'twas not so
once; methinks。
THESEUS
Aye; too much so; for how dost show thyself the glorious
Heracles of yore?
HERACLES
What about thyself? what kind of hero wert thou when in trouble in
the world below?
THESEUS
I was worse than anyone as far as courage went。
HERACLES
How then canst thou say of me; that I am abased by my troubles?
THESEUS
Forward!
HERACLES
Farewell; my aged sire!
AMPHITRYON
Farewell to thee; my son!
HERACLES
Bury my children as I said。
AMPHITRYON
But who will bury me; my son?
HERACLES
I will。
AMPHITRYON
When wilt thou come?
HERACLES
After thou hast buried my children。
AMPHITRYON
How?
HERACLES
I will fetch thee from Thebes to Athens。 But carry my children
within; a grievous burden to the earth。 And I; after ruining my
house by deeds of shame; will follow in the wake of Theseus; totally
destroyed。 Whoso prefers wealth or might to the possession of good
friends; thinketh amiss。
(THESEUS and his attendants lead HERACLES away。)
CHORUS (chanting)
With grief and many a bitter tear we go our way; robbed of all
we prized most dearly。
…THE END…
