Heracles: Thy pain is yet young. Time will soften thee,

[The veiled Woman begins dimly, as though in a dream, to hear the words spoken.]

Admetus: Time? Yes, if time be death.

Heracles: Nay, wait; and some
Woman, some new desire of love, will come.

Admetus (indignantly): Peace!
How canst thou? Shame upon thee!

Heracles: Thou wilt stay
Unwed for ever, lonely night and day?

Admetus: No other bride in these void arms shall lie.

Heracles: What profit will thy dead wife gain thereby?
