Neoptolemus: I'm ready. Take what may be necessary,
And follow me.

Philoctetes: I want not much.

Neoptolemus: Perhaps
My ship will furnish you.

Philoctetes: There is a plant
Which to my wound gives some relief; I must
Have that.

Neoptolemus: Is there aught else?

Philoctetes: Alas! my bow
I had forgot. I must not lose that treasure. (Philoctetes steps into
the cave, and brings out his bow and arrows.)

Neoptolemus: Are these the famous arrows then?

Philoctetes: They are.

Neoptolemus: And may I be permitted to behold,
To touch, to pay my adoration to them?
