“[holds her by the hand, silent] O mother, mother!
What have you done? Behold, the heavens do ope,
The gods look down, and this unnatural scene
They laugh at. O my mother, mother! O!

But, for your son, believe it—O, believe it—
Most dangerously you have with him prevailed,
If not most mortal to him.”
