Strained my obedience: yestereve I gave
Warning to fly to Lord Amphinomus;
For which if I be blamed, what is our risk?
At the hands of these wretches my death; or else
Return denied me to my proper self,
Condemned to live unrecognizable,
A withered, age-stricken beggar, full of scorn.
Tel. Already I love thee, even as now thou art.
Ul. O son, this shame stifles me. Where’s Eumæus?
I incline to tell him.
