HERACLES
Dare to stretch out your hand and touch the stranger.

ADMETUS
Yes, I reach out my hand, as if to kill a Gorgon.

HERACLES
Do you have her?

ADMETUS
I have her.

HERACLES
Yes and keep her now, and you will say that Zeus'
son is a brave and good guest.
Just look at her, see if she resembles your
wife. You are happy now. Give up your grief.

ADMETUS
Oh gods! What can I say? This is an unexpected miracle.
Do I really see my wife?
Or does some false joy from god strike to break my heart?
