Alcestis.—
I mind me of it. It was as thou hast said.
Therefore I came; and therefore hence went dead.
(The Nurse, turning away with a gesture of despondency, signs to an Attendant to remove the children.)
Nurse.—
Bear them away! For now I hear the voice
Of singers and of minstrels that rejoice
Because the bridegroom comes. Therefore be swift,
Bring and put on the wedding robe, and lift
Again to that fair head the bridal crown!
