Lycidas
alone.
Alas! Where am I!
What has befallen! Must then offended Heaven
Shower all its wrath on my devoted head?
132

O Megacles! Where art thou, Megacles!
What is this world without thee? Cruel Gods!
[raving.
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.
