Admetus.
To Attendants.
Lead ye her, if mine halls must needs receive. 1110
Herakles.
Not to thy servants' hands will I commit her.
Admetus.
Thou lead her in then, if it seems thee good.
Herakles.
Nay, but in thine hands will I place her—thine.
Admetus.
I will not touch her!—Open stand my doors.
Herakles.
Unto thy right hand only trust I her. 1115
Admetus.
O king, thou forcest me: I will not this!
Herakles.
Be strong: stretch forth thine hand and touch thy guest.
Admetus.
I stretch it forth, as to a headless Gorgon.
Herakles.
Hast her?
Admetus.
I have.
