Nurse: I think that slave is but a gift for thee.

Deianira: This fellow whom thou seest wandering410

Throughout our Grecian cities, big with fame,

A tawny lion's spoils upon his back,

And in his dreadful hand a massive club;

Who takes their realms away from haughty kings,

And gives them to the weak; whose praise is sung

By men of every land throughout the world:415

This man is but a trifler, without thought

Of winning deathless glory for himself.
