Pheres: This dead, methinks, is lying in thy place.

Admetus: A proof, old traitor, of thy cowardliness!

Pheres: Died she through me?... That thou wilt hardly say.

Admetus (almost breaking down): O God!

Pheres: Go forward; woo more wives that more may die.

Admetus: As thou wouldst not! Thine is the infamy.

Pheres: This light of heaven is sweet, and sweet again.

Admetus: Thy heart is foul. A thing unmeet for men.

Pheres: Thou laugh'st not yet across the old man's tomb.
