Found’st thou no bliss?

Alcestis.—

Yea, bliss enough to die

When thou didst ask it of me, O my lord!

Ofttimes he might have slain me with his sword:

Yet was I spared to die another death.

Admetus.—

Breathe not upon the past such bitter breath!

Great was the need, thou knowest, I had of thee!

Alcestis.—
