Some sunset when you are beautiful like a dream I will set you on that bright island, and fill my eyes full. And then I will go my ways alone, and the fairest of earthly things shall be mine for ever.
Hermione.

Orestes.
No man shall ever see you fade from your loveliness. The gods may take you even as they took Helen.
Andromache.
Oh, he is mad! Queen, Queen, go back while there is time.
Hermione.
[Shrinking back.] I should die! I am afraid!
