Neoptolemus: Depend on 't, I will stay.

Philoctetes: Wilt thou indeed?

Neoptolemus: Trust me, I will.

Philoctetes: I need not bind thee to it
By oath.

Neoptolemus: Oh, no! 'twere impious to forsake thee.

Philoctetes: Give me thy hand, and pledge thy faith.

Neoptolemus: I do.

Philoctetes: (pointing up to heaven) Thither, oh, thither lead!

Neoptolemus: What sayst thou? where?

Philoctetes: Above-

Neoptolemus: What, lost again? Why lookst thou thus
On that bright circle?
