Admetus: O Fate, to have cheated me of one so true!

Alcestis (her strength failing): There comes a darkness: a great burden, too.

Admetus: I am lost if thou wilt leave me.... Wife! Mine own!

Alcestis: I am not thy wife; I am nothing. All is gone.

Admetus: Thy babes! Thou wilt not leave them.--Raise thine eye.

Alcestis: I am sorry.... But good-bye, children; good-bye.

Admetus: Look at them! Wake and look at them!


Alcestis: I must go.

Admetus: What? Dying!
