Whoso of them doth lay a hand on me shall rue it; thyself expel me, if thy spirit move thee, from the land.
Theseus
I will, unless my word thou straight obey; no pity for thy exile steals into my heart. [Exit Theseus.
Hippolytus
The sentence then, it seems, is passed. Ah, misery I How well I know the truth herein, but know no way to tell it! O daughter of Latona, dearest to me of all deities, partner, comrade in the chase, far from glorious Athens must I fly. Farewell, city
and land of Erechtheus; farewell, Troezen, most joyous home wherein to pass the spring of life; ’tis my last sight of thee, farewell!
Come, my comrades in this land, young like me, greet me kindly and escort me forth,
for never will ye behold a purer soul, for all my father’s doubts. [Exit Hippolytus.
1102
Chorus
In very deed the thoughts I have about the gods, whenso they come into my mind, do much to soothe its grief, but though I cherish secret hopes of some great guiding will, yet am I at fault when I survey the fate and doings of the sons of men;
change succeeds to change, and man’s life veers and shifts in endless restlessness.
1111
Chorus
Fortune grant me this, I pray, at heaven’s hand,—a happy lot in life and a soul from sorrow free;
opinions let me hold not too precise nor yet too hollow; but, lightly changing my habits to each morrow as it comes, may I thus attain a life of bliss!
