HERACLES
Theseus
Is this a remedy to ease your grief?
Heracles
I long for it, yearn to embrace my father.
Amphitryon
My arms are waiting. I too desire it.
Theseus
Have you forgotten your labors so far? 1410
Heracles
All those labors I endured were less than these.
Theseus
If someones sees your weakness, he will not praise you.
Heracles
I live: am I so low? You did not think so once.
Theseus
Once, no. But where now is famous Heracles?
Heracles
What were you when you were underground? 1415
Theseus
In courage I was the least of men.
Heracles
Then will you say my grief degrades me now?
Theseus
Forward!
Heracles
Farewell, father!
