Agave: Ah! what do I see? what is this I bear in my hands?

Cadmus: Look at it, and learn more clearly.

Agave: I see the greatest grief, wretch that I am!

Cadmus: Does it seem to you to be like a lion?

Agave: No: but I, wretched, hold the head of Pentheus.

Cadmus: Ay, much lamented before you recognized him.

Agave: Who slew him, how came he into my hands?

Cadmus: O wretched truth, how unseasonably art thou come!

Agave: Tell me, since delay causes a quivering at my heart.
