Heracles: 'Twill like thee later. Now ... but do my will.

Admetus (beckoning to an Attendant): Take her; find her some lodging in my hall.

Heracles: I will not yield this maid to any thrall.

Admetus: Take her thyself and lead her in.

Heracles: I stand
Beside her; take her; lead her to thy hand.

[He brings the Woman close to Admetus, who looks determinedly away. She reaches out her arms.]

Admetus: I touch her not.--Let her go in!

Heracles: I am loth
To trust her save to thy pledged hand and oath.

[He lays his hand on Admetus's shoulder.]
