Heracles: Why did ye leave my hearth and home?

Megara: He forced us; thy father was dragged from his bed.

Heracles: Had he no mercy, to ill-use the old man so?

Megara: Mercy forsooth! that goddess and he dwell far enough apart.

Heracles: Was I so poor in friends in my absence?

Megara: Who are the friends of a man in misfortune?

Heracles: Do they make so light of my hard warring with the Minyae?

Megara: Misfortune, to repeat it to thee, has no friends.
