Protesilaus

There is reason in that. Oh, would that I had Love himself here in these hands!

Aeacus

Permit me to charge myself with his defence. He does not absolutely deny his responsibility for Pariss love; but that for your death he refers to yourself, Protesilaus. You forgot all about your bride, fell in love with fame, and, directly the fleet touched the Troad, took that rash senseless leap, which brought you first to shore and to death.

Protesilaus

Now it is my turn to correct, Aeacus. The blame does not rest with me, but with Fate; so was my thread spun from the beginning.

Aeacus

Exactly so; then why blame our good friends here?
