Admetus: Thy words have some intent: what wouldst thou say?

Heracles: I must find harbour with some other friend.

Admetus: My prince, it may not be! God never send
Such evil!

Heracles: 'Tis great turmoil, when a guest
Comes to a mourning house.

Admetus: Come in and rest.
Let the dead die!

Heracles: I cannot, for mere shame,
Feast beside men whose eyes have tears in them.

Admetus: The guest-rooms are apart where thou shalt be.

Heracles: Friend, let me go. I shall go gratefully.
