Philoctetes: Oh, stay, my son!
Is then Achilles dead?

Neoptolemus: He is, and not
By mortal hand, but by Apollo's shaft
Fell glorious.

Philoctetes: Oh! most worthy of each other,
The slayer and the slain! Permit me, son,
To mourn his fate, ere I attend to thine.

Neoptolemus: Alas! thou needst not weep for others' woes,

Thou hast enough already of thy own.

Philoctetes: 'Tis very true; and therefore to thy tale.
