She dies from earth, nor in eternal groves

May she be healed.

Aris. Not mine, but yours, the blow.

Dion. Ocrastes struck me, and I rose again.

My wife was taken, and I lived to sigh.

But you—O, now the quick of life is seized

With mortal ill. Now shakes my earth to centre,

And on me falling bow her peak�d tops.

Even here and now I die. All fellowship

Forego with gallant breath, and lay me down
