Philoktetes

Be calm. I simply ask that you listen.

I listened to you once, and you spoke well then.
My troubles came from sweet words, when I believed them.

Is it not possible, then, to apologize?

You spoke as smoothly as you do now when you stole my bow, trustworthy on the surface, but treacherous below.

That is not the case now. Are you resolved to stay here as before, or will you come with us?
