{Alkestis enters, followed by Eurynome. She recognizes Palaemon, who is being led out, opposite.) Alkestis Palsemon? Ah, the poor old man! Alas!
The tale of his disaster even now Hath reacht my ears. What? Is he blind indeed?
An old man should not gaze into the sun: His vital fluid is too easily 48 ADMETUS Drunk up. Is there no help?— no Kniment In all our store, — no poultice that my hands Could make, to cool the fever? None? Then all Our simples and our healing art are vain, Against the darts... of Phoebus, — Phoebus, god Of healing, who hath taught us all we know!
Persuade him to come back and let us try. — He was a priest of Phoebus! — To be blind — No more to see the dew upon the grass.
The ripple of the wind across the trees And meadows, or the flocks among the herbage, Or smile of human friendliness — no more?
Why, these are Phoebus' works! — Mine own eyes weep, That his should be distraught, — and he so old.
So few days left for seeing, at the best!
Adm.
Alkestis, spare thy pity.
