Alas! Where am I!
What has befallen! Must then offended Heaven
Shower all its wrath on my devoted head?

Restore to me my friend! 'Twas you who snatch'd him
From my embrace, from you I now demand him;
If you refuse to give him to my vows,
Where'er he is, by force I'll wrest him from you;
I fear not all your bolts—I have a soul
Can urge my steps to tread the path below,
Which Hercules and Theseus trod before.
