, Servants How should thy revelling hurt, if that were all ?
HsRACiLES..
Hath mine own friend so wronged me in his hall ?
Servant.
Thou camest at an hour when none was free To accept thee. We were mourning. Thou can see Our hair, black robes . . .
Heracles [suddenly, in a voice of thunder).
Who is it that is dead ?
Servant.
Alcestis, the King's wife.
Heracles [overcome).
What hast thou said ?
Alcestis ? . . . And ye feasted me withal !
4' EURIPIDES w. 833-839 Servant.
He held it shame to turn t...hee from his hall.
Heracles.
Shame ! And when such a wondrous wife was gone !
Servant {breaking into tears).
Oh, all is gone, all lost, not she alone !
Heracles.
I knew, I felt it, when I saw his tears, And face, and shorn hair. But he won mine ears With talk of the strange woman and her rite Of burial. So in mine own heart's despite I crossed his threshold and sat drinking — he And I old friends ! — in his calamity.
Drank, and sang songs, and revelled, my head hot With wine and flowers ! . .
