Cleora's gone to death. Is there a door,

A casement, or a rift within these walls,

That can let loose my body to her rescue?

Panth. All closed; nothing but heaven above is open.

Cleom. Nay, that's closed too; the gods are deaf to prayers!

Hush then; the irrevocable doom's gone forth,

And prayers lag after, but can ne'er o'ertake.—

Let us talk forward of our woes to come.

Crat. Cleanthes! (Oh, could you suspect his faith?)
