 | | IOLAUS Maybe ye have heard of Iolaus, the comrade of Heracles, for he was not unknown to fame. |
 | | IOLAUS Children have no fairer prize than this, the being born of a good and noble sire, and the power to wed from noble families; but whoso is enslaved by passion and makes a lowborn match, I cannot praise for leaving to his children a legacy of shame, to gratify himself. |
