Oc. O joy,

My lord!

Cal. And joy for Heraclides' death!

Aris. Poor man! His flattery so soon found friends

That he himself was caught by it, and thought

To gain a crown by Dion's death. E'en while

They talked—O ne'er was friendly speech so punctured—

His sword was out and aimed at Dion's bosom.

Oc. Your blade is purple, but it should be black,

So vile his blood!
