Farewell, my aged father!
Amphitryon
Farewell to you, my son!
Heracles
Bury my children as I said.
Amphitryon
But who will bury me, my son?
Heracles
I will.
Amphitryon
When wil you come?
Heracles
After you have buried my children.
Amphitryon
How?
Heracles
I will fetch you from Thebes to Athens. But carry my children within, a grievous burden to the earth. And I, after ruining my house by deeds of shame, will follow as a little boat in the wake of Theseus, a total wreck.
Whoever prefers wealth or might to the possession of good friends, thinks wrongly.
Chorus
With grief and many a bitter tear we go our way, robbed of all we prized most dearly.
