I shall only find the latter half.
Nurse
Ha! my child, art thou in love?
Phaedra
The Amazons son, whoever he may be,—
Nurse
Meanst thou Hippolytus?
Phaedra
Twas thou, not I, that spoke his name.
Nurse
O heavens! what is this, my child? Thou hast ruined me. Outrageous! friends; I will not live and bear it;
hateful is life, hateful to mine eyes the light. This body I resign, will cast it off, and rid me of existence by
my death. Farewell, my life is oer. Yea, for the chaste have wicked passions, gainst their will maybe, but still they have. Cypris, it seems, is not a goddess after all,
but something greater far, for she hath been the ruin of my lady and of me and our whole family.

Chorus
O, too clearly didst thou hear our queen uplift her voice to tell her startling tale of piteous suffering. Come death ere I reach thy state of feeling,[*] loved mistress.
O horrible! woe, for these miseries! woe, for the sorrows on which mortals feed! Thou art undone! thou hast disclosed thy sin to heavens light. What hath each passing day and every hour in store for thee?
Some strange event will come to pass in this house. For it is no longer uncertain where the star of thy love is setting, thou hapless daughter[*] of Crete.
373
Phaedra
Ladies of Troezen, who dwell here upon the frontier edge of Pelops land,
