But thou, O son of old Aegeus, take thy son in thine arms, draw him close to thee, for unwittingly thou slewest him, and men may well commit an error when gods put it in their way.
And thee Hippolytus, I admonish; hate not thy sire, for in this death thou dost but meet thy destined fate.
And now farewell! tis not for me to gaze upon the dead, or pollute my sight with death-scenes, and een now I see thee nigh that evil moment.[*] [Exit Artemis.
Hippolytus
Farewell, blest virgin queen! leave me now! How easily[*] thou resignest our long friendship! I am reconciled with my father at thy desire, yea, for ever before I would obey thy bidding.
Ah me! the darkness is settling even now upon my eyes.
Take me, father, in thy arms, lift me up.
Theseus
Woe is me, my son! what art thou doing to me thy hapless sire!
Hippolytus
I am a broken man; yes, I see the gates that close upon the dead.
Theseus
Canst leave me thus with murder on my soul!
Hippolytus
No, no; I set thee free from this bloodguiltiness.
Theseus
What sayest thou? dost absolve me from bloodshed?
Hippolytus
Artemis, the archer-queen, is my witness that I do.
