no creature that had the breath of life�察�but by one that had passed to

dwell with Hades。 So I have been slain by this savage Centaur�察�the

living by the dead�察�even as the divine will had been foretold。

    And I will show thee how later oracles tally therewith�察�confirming

the old prophecy。 I wrote them down in the grove of the Selli��

dwellers on the hills�察�whose couch is on the ground�察�they were given

by my Father's oak of many tongues�察�which said that�察�at the time which

liveth and now is�察�my release from the toils laid upon me should be

accomplished。 And I looked for prosperous days�察�but the meaning�察�it

seems�察�was only that should die�察�for toil comes no more to the dead。

    Since�察�then�察�my son�察�those words are clearly finding their

fulfilment�察�thou�察�on thy part�察�must lend me thine aid。 Thou must not

delay�察�and so provoke me to bitter speech�此�thou must consent and

help with a good grace�察�as one who hath learned that best of laws��

obedience to a sire。

  HYLLUS

    Yea�察�father�察� though I fear the issue to which our talk hath

brought me�察� I will do thy good pleasure。

  HERACLES

    First of all�察�lay thy right hand in mine。

  HYLLUS

    For what purpose dost thou insist upon his pledge��

  HERACLES

    Give thy hand at once´ disobey me not��

  HYLLUS

    Lo�察�there it is�此�thou shalt not be gainsaid。

  HERACLES

    Now�察�swear by the head of Zeus my sire��

  HYLLUS

    To do what deed�拭�May this also be told��

  HERACLES

    To perform for me the task that I shall enjoin。

  HYLLUS

    I swear it�察�with Zeus for witness of the oath。

  HERACLES

    And pray that�察�if thou break this oath�察�thou mayest suffer。

  HYLLUS

    I shall not suffer�察�for I shall keep it�此� yet so I pray。

  HERACLES

    Well�察�thou knowest the summit of Oeta�察�sacred to Zeus��

  HYLLUS

    Ay�察�I have often stood at his altar on that height。

  HERACLES

    Thither�察�then�察�thou must carry me up with thine own hands�察�aided

by what friends thou wilt�察�thou shalt lop many a branch from the

deep´rooted oak�察�and hew many a faggot also from the sturdy stock of

the wild´olive�察�thou shalt lay my body thereupon�察�and kindle it with

flaming pine´torch。

    And let no tear of mourning be seen there�察�no�察�do this without

lament and without weeping�察�if thou art indeed my son。 But if thou

do it not�察�even from the world below my curse and my wrath shall

wait on thee for ever。

  HYLLUS

    Alas�察�my father�察�what hast thou spoken�拭�How hast thou dealt with

me��

  HERACLES

    I have spoken that which thou must perform�察�if thou wilt not�察�then

get thee some other sire�察�and be called my son no more��

  HYLLUS

    Woe�察�woe is me� �What a deed dost thou require of me�察�my

father�察�that I should become thy murderer�察�guilty of thy blood��

  HERACLES

    Not so�察�in truth�察�but healer of my sufferings�察�sole physician of

my pain��

  HYLLUS

    And how�察�by enkindling thy body�察�shall I heal it��

  HERACLES

    Nay�察�if that thought dismay thee�察�at least perform the rest。

  HYLLUS

    The service of carrying thee shall not be refused。

  HERACLES

    And the heaping of the pyre�察�as I have bidden��

  HYLLUS

    Yea�察�save that I will not touch it with mine own hand。 All else

will I do�察�and thou shalt have no hindrance on my part。

  HERACLES

    Well�察�so much shall be enough。´ But add one small boon to thy

large benefits。

  HYLLUS

    Be the boon never so large�察�it shall be granted。

  HERACLES

    Knowest thou�察�then�察�the girl whose sire was Eurytus��

  HYLLUS

    It is of Iole that thou speakest�察�if I mistake not。

  HERACLES

    Even so。 This�察�in brief�察�is the charge that I give thee�察�my son。

When am dead�察�if thou wouldest show a pious remembrance of thine

oath unto thy father�察�disobey me not�察�but take this woman to be thy

wife。 Let no other espouse her who hath lain at my side�察�but do

thou�察�O my son�察�make that marriage´bond thine own。 Consent�此�after

loyalty in great matters�察�to rebel in less is to cancel the grace that

bad been won。

  HYLLUS

    Ah me�察�it is not well to be angry with a sick man�此�but who could

bear to see him in such a mind��

  HERACLES

    Thy words show no desire to do my bidding。

  HYLLUS

    What� �When she alone is to blame for my mother's death�察�and for

thy present plight besides�拭�Lives there the man who would make such

choice�察�unless he were maddened by avenging fiends��

    Better were it�察�father�察�that I too should die�察�rather than live

united to the worst of our foes��

  HERACLES

    He will render no reverence�察�it seems�察�to my dying prayer。´ Nay��

be sure that the curse of the gods will attend thee for disobedience

to my voice。

  HYLLUS

    Ah�察�thou wilt soon show�察�methinks�察�how distempered thou art��

  HERACLES

    Yea�察�for thou art breaking the slumber of my plague。

  HYLLUS

    Hapless that I am� �What perplexities surround me��

  HERACLES

    Yea�察�since thou deignest not to hear thy sire。

  HYLLUS

    But must I learn�察�then�察�to be impious�察�my father��

  HERACLES

    'Tis not impiety�察�if thou shalt gladden my heart。

  HYLLUS

    Dost thou command me�察�then�察�to do this deed�察�as a clear duty��

  HERACLES

    I command thee�察� the gods bear me witness��

  HYLLUS

    Then will I do it�察�and refuse not�察� calling upon the gods to

witness thy deed。 I can never be condemned for loyalty to thee�察�my

father。

  HERACLES

    Thou endest well�察�and to these words�察�my son�察�quickly add the

gracious deed�察�that thou mayest lay me on the pyre before any pain

returns to rend or sting me。

    Come�察�make haste and lift me� �This�察�in truth�察�is rest from

troubles�察�this is the end�察�the last end�察�of Heracles��

  HYLLUS

    Nothing�察�indeed�察�hinders the fulfilment of thy wish�察�since thy

command constrains us�察�my father。

  HERACLES  ��chanting��

    Come�察�then�察�ere thou arouse this plague�察�O my stubborn soul��

give me a curb as of steel on lips set like stone to stone�察�and let no

cry escape them�察�seeing that the deed which thou art to do�察�though

done perforce�察�is yet worthy of thy joy��

  HYLLUS  ��chanting��

    Lift him�察�followers� �And grant me full forgiveness for this�察�but

mark the great cruelty of the gods in the deeds that are being done。


They beget children�察�they are hailed as fathers�察�and yet they can look

upon such sufferings。



                    ��The attendants raise HERACLES

          on the litter and move slowly off�察�as HYLLUS chants

                 to the CHORUS in the closing lines。��



    No man foresees the future�察�but the present is fraught with

mourning for us�察�and with shame for the powers above�察�and verily

with anguish beyond compare for him who endures this doom。

    Maidens�察�come ye also�察�nor linger at the house�察�ye who have lately

seen a dread death�察�with sorrows manifold and strange�此�and in all this

there is nought but Zeus。





                                   ´THE END´
