At last it drew so hard, that the blood followed;

And that red milk I found upon its lips,

Which made me swoon with fear.

And hush the child asleep.— [Exit Cleora.

Look down, ye gods!

Look, Hercules, thou author of my race,

And jog thy father, Jove, that he may look

On his neglected work of humankind!
