Theseus: Rise, unhappy man! thou hast had thy fill of tears.

Heracles: I cannot rise; my limbs are rooted here.

Theseus: Yea, even the strong are o'erthrown by misfortunes.

Heracles: Ah! would I could grow into a stone upon this spot, oblivious of trouble!

Theseus: Peace! give thy hand to a friend and helper.

Heracles: Nay, let me not wipe off the blood upon thy robe.

Theseus: Wipe it off and spare not; I will not say thee nay.

Heracles: Reft of my own sons, I find thee as a son to me.
