Since her unhappy state has stol'n from her

Her loveliness. The unattainable

Is ever sought in love. But from the thing

That is within his reach love turns away.

Deianira: Nay: fallen fortunes fan the flames of love;

And for this very reason does he love,

Because her home is lost, and from her head

The crown of gleaming gold and gems has fallen.360

For these her woes he pities her—and loves.

'Twas e'er his wont to love his captive maids.
