go.
Befall what may, whilst this deep cave is open To bury all my sorrows.
Uly. What wouldst do?
Phil. Here throw mo down, dash out my desperate brains Against this rock, and sprinkle it with my blood.
Uly. [to the Chorus]. Seize, and prevent him !
\They seize him.
Phil. Manacled ! hands !
How helpless are you now ! those arms, which once Protected, thus torn from you ! [To Ulysses.
Thou abandoned, Thou shameless wretch ! from whom nor truth nor justice.
Naught that becomes the generous mind, c...an flow.
How hast thou used me ! how betrayed ! Suborned This stranger, this poor youth, who, worthier far To be my friend than thine, was only here Thy instrument ; he knew pot what he did, 126 PHILOCTETES.
And now, thou seest, repents him of the crime Which brought such guilt on him, such woes on me.
But thy foul soul, which from its dark recess Trembling looks forth, beheld him void of art, Unwilling as he was, instructed him.
And made him soon a master in deceit.
I am thy prisoner now ; e'en now thou meanst To drag me hence, from this unhappy shore, Where first thy malice left me, a poor exile, Deserted, friendless, and though living, dead To all mankind.
