Alkestis. It is enough that I must die for thee.
Admetus. O Heaven! of what a partner I am reft!
Alkestis. My eyes grow dim and the long sleep comes on.
Admetus. I too am lost if thou dost leave me, wife.
Alkestis. Think of me as of one that is no more.
Admetus. Lift up thy face, quit not thy children dear.
Alkestis. Not willingly; but, children, fare ye well.
Admetus. Oh, look upon them, look!
Alkestis. My end is come.
Admetus. Oh, leave us not.
