Amphitryon: Stand further off, make no noise nor outcry, rouse him
not from his calm deep slumber.

Chorus: O horrible! all this blood-

Amphitryon: Hush, hush! ye will be my ruin.

Chorus: That he has spilt is rising up against him.

Amphitryon: Gently raise your dirge of woe, old friends; lest he wake,

close.

Chorus: Is he sleeping?
