Or must I, in avoidance of such harm,

Make her to enter, lead her life within

The chamber of the dead one, all apart?

How shall I introduce this other, couch

This where Alkestis lay? A double blame

I apprehend: first, from the citizens—

Lest some tongue of them taunt that I betray

My benefactress, fall into the snare

Of a new fresh face: then, the dead one's self,—

Will she not blame me likewise? Worthy, sure,
