    What best may serve us both。

  PHILOCTETES

    But; speaking thus;

    Dost thou not fear the' offended gods?

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    Why fear them?

    Can I offend the gods by doing good?

  PHILOCTETES

    What good? To whom? To me or to the' Atreidae?

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    I am thy friend; and therefore would persuade thee。

  PHILOCTETES

    And therefore give me to my foes。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    Alas!

    Let not misfortunes thus transport thy soul

    To rage and bitterness。

  PHILOCTETES

    Thou wouldst destroy me。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    Thou knowst me not。

  PHILOCTETES

    I know th' Atreidae well;

    Who left me here。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    They did; yet they perhaps;

    E'en they; O Philoctetes! may preserve thee。

  PHILOCTETES

    I never will to Troy。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    What's to be done?

    Since I can ne'er persuade thee; I submit;

    Live on in misery。

  PHILOCTETES

    Then let me suffer;

    Suffer I must; but; oh! perform thy promise;

    Think on thy plighted faith; and guard me home

    Instant; my friend; nor ever call back Troy

    To my remembrance; I have felt enough

    From Troy already。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    Let us go; prepare!

  PHILOCTETES

    O glorious sound!

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    Bear thyself up。

  PHILOCTETES

    I will;

    If possible。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    But how shall I escape

    The wrath of Greece?

  PHILOCTETES

    Oh! think not of it。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    What

    If they should waste my kingdom?

  PHILOCTETES

    I'll be there。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    Alas! what canst thou do?

  PHILOCTETES

    And with these arrows

    Of my Alcides…

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    Ha! What sayst thou?

  PHILOCTETES

    Drive

    Thy foes before me。 Not a Greek shall dare

    Approach thy borders。

  NEOPTOLEMUS

    If thou wilt do this;

    Salute the earth; and instant hence。 Away!



                    (HERCULES appears from above;

                   and speaks as he moves forward。)



  HERCULES

    Stay; son of Poeas! Lo to thee 'tis given

    Once more to see and hear thy loved Alcides;

    Who for thy sake hath left yon heavenly mansions;

    And comes to tell thee the decrees of Jove;

    To turn thee from the paths thou meanst to tread;

    And guide thy footsteps right。 Therefore attend。

    Thou knowst what toils; what labours I endured;

    Ere I by virtue gained immortal fame;

    Thou too like me by toils must rise to glory…

    Thou too must suffer; ere thou canst be happy;

    Hence with thy friend to Troy; where honour calls;

    Where health awaits thee… where; by virtue raised

    To highest rank; and leader of the war;

    Paris; its hateful author; shalt thou slay;

    Lay waste proud Troy; and send thy trophies home;

    Thy valour's due reward; to glad thy sire

    On Oeta's top。 The gifts which Greece bestows

    Must thou reserve to grace my funeral pile;

    And be a monument to after…ages

    Of these all…conquering arms。 Son of Achilles

                                              (Turning to NEOPTOLEMUS)

    (For now to thee I speak);  remember this;

    Without his aid thou canst not conquer Troy;

    Nor Philoctetes without thee succeed;

    Go then; and; like two lions in the field

    Roaming for prey; guard ye each other well;

    My Aesculapius will I send e'en now

    To heal thy wounds…Then go; and conquer Troy;

    But when you lay the vanquished city waste。

    Be careful that you venerate the gods;

    For far above all other gifts doth Jove;

    Th' almighty father; hold true piety:

    Whether we live or die; that still survives

    Beyond the reach of fate; and is immortal。

  PHILOCTETES  (chanting)

    Once more to let me hear that wished…for voice;

    To see thee after so long time; was bliss

    I could not hope for。 Oh! I will obey

    Thy great commands most willingly。

  NEOPTOLEMUS  (chanting)

    And I。

  HERCULES  (chanting)

    Delay not then。 For lo! a prosperous wind

    Swells in thy sail。 The time invites。 Adieu!

                                          (HERCULES disappears above。)

  PHILOCTETES  (chanting)

    I will but pay my salutations here;

    And instantly depart。 To thee; my cave;

    Where I so long have dwelt; I bid farewell!

    And you; ye nymphs; who on the watery plains

    Deign to reside; farewell! Farewell the noise

    Of beating waves; which I so oft have heard

    From the rough sea; which by the black winds driven

    O'erwhelmed me; shivering。 Oft th' Hermaean mount

    Echoed my plaintive voice; by wintry storms

    Afflicted; and returned me groan for groan。

    Now; ye fresh fountains; each Lycaean spring;

    I leave you now。 Alas! I little thought

    To leave you ever。 And thou sea…girt isle;

    Lemnos; farewell! Permit me to depart

    By thee unblamed; and with a prosperous gale

    To go where fate demands; where kindest friends

    By counsel urge me; where all…powerful Jove

    In his unerring wisdom hath decreed。

  CHORUS  (chanting)

    Let us be gone; and to the ocean nymphs

    Our humble prayers prefer; that they would all

    Propitious smile; and grant us safe return。





                                   …THE END…
