Father, why do you weep and veil your eyes, standing far from your beloved son?AmphitryonMy child! mine still, for all your misery.HeraclesWhy, what is there so sad in my case that you weep?AmphitryonThat which might make any of the gods weep, if he were to learn it.HeraclesA bold assertion that, but you are not yet explaining what has happened.AmphitryonYour own eyes see that, if by this time you are restored to your senses.HeraclesFill in your sketch if any change awaits my life.AmphitryonI will explain, if you are no longer mad as a fiend of hell.HeraclesOh! what suspicions these dark hints of yours again excite!AmphitryonI am still doubtful whether you are in your sober senses.HeraclesI have no recollection of being mad.
