I long to do so, and would embrace my father.
Amphitryon
Here am I, my son; your wish is no less dear to me.
Theseus
Have you so short a memory for your troubles?
Heracles
All that I endured before was easier to bear than this.
Theseus
If anyone sees you play the woman, they will scoff.
Heracles
Have I by living grown so abject in your sight? It was not so once, I think.
Theseus
Yes, too much so; in your sickness you are not the glorious Heracles.
Heracles
What about you? What kind of hero were you when in trouble in the world below?
Theseus
I was worse than anyone as far as courage went.
Heracles
How then can you say of me, that I am abased by my troubles?
Theseus
Forward!
