Heracles: Thy father, if 'tis he,
Is ripe in years.

Admetus: He liveth, friend, and she
Who bore me.

Heracles: Surely not thy wife? 'Tis not
Alcestis?

Admetus (his composure a little shaken): Ah; two answers share my thought,
Questioned of her.

Heracles: Is she alive or dead?

Admetus: She is, and is not; and my heart hath bled
Long years for her.

Heracles: I understand no more.
Thy words are riddles.
