HERACLES<br />

What about thyself? what kind of hero wert thou when in trouble in<br />

the world below?<br />

<strong>THE</strong>SEUS<br />

I was worse than anyone as far as courage went.<br />

HERACLES<br />

How then canst thou say of me, that I am abased by my troubles?<br />

Forward!<br />

Farewell, my aged sire!<br />

Farewell to thee, my son!<br />

Bury my children as I said.<br />

<strong>THE</strong>SEUS<br />

HERACLES<br />

AMPHITRYON<br />

HERACLES<br />

AMPHITRYON<br />

But who will bury me, my son?<br />

I will.<br />

When wilt thou come?<br />

HERACLES<br />

AMPHITRYON<br />

HERACLES<br />

After thou hast buried my children.<br />

How?<br />

AMPHITRYON<br />

HERACLES<br />

I will fetch thee from Thebes to Athens. But carry my children within,<br />

a grievous burden to the earth. And I, after ruining my house by deeds<br />

of shame, will follow in the wake of Theseus, totally destroyed. Whoso<br />

prefers wealth or might to the possession of good friends, thinketh amiss.<br />

(<strong>THE</strong>SEUS and his attendants lead HERACLES away.)<br />

CHORUS {chanting)<br />

With grief and many a bitter tear we go our way, robbed of all<br />

we prized most dearly.
