Amphitryon: O king, thou dost persecute me in my misery and heapest
insult upon me over and above the loss of my son; thou shouldst have
been more moderate in thy zeal, though thou art my lord and master.
But since thou dost impose death's stern necessity on me, needs must
I acquiesce and do thy will.

Lycus: Pray, where is Megara? where are the children of Alcmena's
son?

Amphitryon: She, I believe, so far as I can guess from outside-

Lycus: What grounds hast thou to base thy fancy on?

Amphitryon: Is sitting as a suppliant on the altar's hallowed steps.

Lycus: Imploring them quite uselessly to save her life.

Amphitryon: And calling on her dead husband, quite in vain.
