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?
Phaedra
That love has been our curse from time long past.
Nurse
I know no more of what I fain would learn.
Phaedra
Ah! would thou couldst say for me what I have to tell.
Nurse
I am no prophetess to unriddle secrets.
Phaedra
What is it they mean when they talk of people being in love?
Nurse
At once the sweetest and the bitterest thing, my child.
