Heracles: O Theseus, didst thou witness this struggle with my children?

Theseus: I heard of it, and now I see the horrors thou meanest.

Heracles: Why then hast thou unveiled my head to the sun?

Theseus: Why have I? Thou, a man, canst not pollute what is of God.

Heracles: Fly, luckless wretch, from my unholy taint.

Theseus: The avenging fiend goes not forth from friend to friend.

Heracles: For this I thank thee; I do not regret the service I did thee.

Theseus: While I, for kindness then received, now show my pity for thee.
