Ah me! bitter to me is this voyage thou speakest of. Unhappy wife, what woes are ours!

AlcestisOne draws me, draws me hence, seest thou not? to the courts of death, winged Hades glaring from beneath his dark brows. What wilt thou with me? Unhand me. On what a journey am I setting out, most wretched woman I!AdmetusBitter journey to thy friends, yet most of all to me and to thy babes, the partners in this sorrow.
