Thou hast undone me, nurse; I do adjure by the gods, mention that man no more.
313
Nurse
There now! thou art thyself again, but een yet refusest to aid thy children and preserve thy life.
Phaedra
My babes I love, but there is another storm that buffets me.
Nurse
Daughter, are thy hands from bloodshed pure?
Phaedra
My hands are pure, but on my soul there rests a stain.
Nurse
The issue of some enemys secret witchery?
Phaedra
A friend is my destroyer, one unwilling as myself.
Nurse
Hath Theseus wronged thee in any wise?
Phaedra
Never may I prove untrue to him[*]
Nurse
Then what strange mystery is there that drives thee on to die?
Phaedra
O, let my sin and me alone! tis not gainst thee I sin.
Nurse
Never willingly! and, if I fail, twill rest at thy door.
Phaedra
How now? thou usest force in clinging to my hand.
Nurse
Yea, and I will never loose my hold upon thy knees.
Phaedra
Alas for thee! my sorrows, shouldst thou learn them, would recoil on thee.
Nurse
What keener grief for me than failing to win thee?
Phaedra
Twill be death to thee; though to me that brings renown.[*]
Nurse
And dost thou then conceal this boon despite my prayers?
Phaedra
I do, for tis out of shame I am planning an honourable escape.
Nurse
Tell it, and thine honour shall the brighter shine.
Phaedra
Away, I do conjure thee; loose my hand.
Nurse
I will not, for the boon thou shouldst have granted me is denied.
Phaedra
I will grant it out of reverence for thy holy sup- pliant touch.
Nurse
Henceforth I hold my peace; tis thine to speak from now.
Phaedra
Ah! hapless mother,[*] what a love was thine!
Nurse
Her love for the bull? daughter, or what meanest thou?
Phaedra
And woe to thee! my sister,[*] bride of Dionysus.
Nurse
What ails thee, child? speaking ill of kith and kin.
Phaedra
Myself the third to suffer! how am I undone!
Nurse
Thou strikst me dumb! Where will this history end?
