Philoctetes: Ah me!
Ulysses here?

Ulysses: Aye! 'tis Ulysses' self
That stands before thee.

Philoctetes: Then I'm lost, betrayed!
This was the cruel spoiler.

Ulysses: Doubt it not.
'Twas I; I do confess it.

Philoctetes: (to Neoptolemus) O my son!
Give me them back.

Ulysses: It must not be; with them
Thyself must go, or we shall drag thee hence.

Philoctetes: And will they force me? O thou daring villain!

Ulysses: They will, unless thou dost consent to go.

Philoctetes: Wilt thou, O Lemnos! wilt thou, mighty Vulcan!

With thy all-conquering fire, permit me thus
To be torn from thee?
