What is this new delirium? Why do you gaze at the dome above us?PhiloctetesLet me go, let me go!NeoptolemusWhere will you go, if I do so?PhiloctetesLet me go, I say!NeoptolemusI will not.PhiloctetesYou will kill me, if you touch me further.NeoptolemusThere, then, I release you—if in fact you believe it is for the better.PhiloctetesWide Earth, embrace me now on the verge of death!This pain no longer lets me stand up.NeoptolemusSleep, I think, will take him before long.
