Tête-d'or: What is it? You look at me strangely and there is something in you that I do not recognise.

Cébès: You have come, O Conqueror,

To all the rest like the promise of a future of happy days!

For me alone you bring no rescue!

Tête-d'or: What do you mean?

Cébès (lying down again): I am dying.

Tête-d'or: What did you say?

Cébès: What the doctors told me, and it is the truth.

Tête-d'or: No!

Cébès: I shall not live through another night. I shall not live till noon.
