Philoctetes: Then let me suffer;
Suffer I must; but, oh! perform thy promise;
Think on thy plighted faith, and guard me home
Instant, my friend, nor ever call back Troy
To my remembrance; I have felt enough
From Troy already.

Neoptolemus: Let us go; prepare!

Philoctetes: O glorious sound!

Neoptolemus: Bear thyself up.

Philoctetes: I will,
If possible.

Neoptolemus: But how shall I escape
The wrath of Greece?

Philoctetes: Oh! think not of it.

Neoptolemus: What
If they should waste my kingdom?
