Heracles: All that I endured of yore was easier to bear than this.

Theseus: If men see thee play the woman, they will scoff.

Heracles: Have I by living grown so abject in thy sight? 'twas not
so once, methinks.

Theseus: Aye, too much so; for how dost show thyself the glorious
Heracles of yore?

Heracles: What about thyself? what kind of hero wert thou when in
trouble in the world below?

Theseus: I was worse than anyone as far as courage went.

Heracles: How then canst thou say of me, that I am abased by my troubles?

Theseus: Forward!
