EURIPIDES.
Herakles.
Yet shalt thou err if thou do not this thing.
Admetus.
Yet shall mine heart be grief-stung, if I do it. 1100
Herakles.
Yield thou: this grace may prove perchance a duty.
Admetus.
O that in strife thou ne'er hadst won this maid!
Herakles.
Yet thy friend's victory is surely thine.
Admetus.
Well said: yet let the woman hence depart.
Herakles.
Yea—if need be. First look well—need it be? 1105
Admetus.
Needs must—save thou wilt else be wroth with me.
Herakles.
I too know what I do, insisting thus.
Admetus.
Have then thy will: thy pleasure is my pain.
Herakles.
Yet one day shalt thou praise me: only yield.
