Servant: Go, drink, man! Leave to us our master's woes.

Heracles: It sounds not like a stranger. Yet, God knows...

Servant: How should thy revelling hurt, if that were all?

Heracles: Hath mine own friend so wronged me in his hall?

Servant: Thou camest at an hour when none was free
To accept thee. We were mourning. Thou canst see
Our hair, black robes...

Heracles (suddenly, in a voice of thunder): Who is it that is dead?

Servant: Alcestis, the King's wife.

Heracles (overcome): What hast thou said?
Alcestis?... And ye feasted me withal!
