Heracles: Who is it that has died?
Thou weepest.

Admetus: 'Tis a woman. It doth take
My memory back to her of whom we spake.

Heracles: A stranger, or of kin to thee?

Admetus: Not kin,
But much beloved.

Heracles: How came she to be in
Thy house to die?

Admetus: Her father died, and so
She came to us, an orphan, long ago.

Heracles (as though about to depart): 'Tis sad.
I would I had found thee on a happier day.
