Thy thralls forthwith must undertake this toil.
Theseus
Myself will look to those others; let the biers advance.
Adrastus
Approach your sons, unhappy mothers.
Theseus
This thy proposal, Adrastus, is anything but good.
Adrastus
Must not the mothers touch their sons?
Theseus
It would kill them to see how they are altered.
Adrastus
Tis bitter, truly, to see the dead even[*] at the moment of death.
Theseus
Why then wilt thou add fresh grief to them?
