Thanatos: Fie on thee, fie! Thou rich-man's lawgiver!

Apollo: How? Is there wit in Death, who seemed so blind?

Thanatos: The rich would buy long life for all their kind.

Apollo: Thou will not grant me, then, this boon? 'Tis so?

Thanatos: Thou knowest me, what I am: I tell thee, no!

Apollo: I know gods sicken at thee and men pine.

Thanatos: Begone! Too many things not meant for thine
Thy greed hath conquered; but not all, not all!
