Makes better death than I, with all my skill!

Cyn. Hush, my Pygmalion! the gods are good,

And they have made thee nearer unto them

Than other men; this is ingratitude!

Pyg. Not so; has not a monarch’s second son

More cause for anger that he lacks a throne

Than he whose lot is cast in slavery?

Cyn. Not much more cause, perhaps, but more excuse.

Now I must go.

Pyg.So soon, and for so long!
