On our account in anger with your lord,

Suffer no injury! Hear my advice,

Amphitruon, if I seem to speak aright.

Oh, yes, I love my children! how not love

What I brought forth, what toiled for? and to die—

Sad I esteem too; still, the fated way

Who stiffens him against, that man I count

Poor creature; us, who are of other mood,

Since we must die, behooves us meet our death

Not burnt to cinders, giving foes the laugh—
