one cure for these my woes and that is instant death.
601
Hippolytus
O mother earth! O suns unclouded orb! What words, unfit for any lips, have reached my ears!
Nurse
Peace, my son, lest some one hear thy outcry.
Hippolytus
I cannot hear such awful words and hold my peace.
Nurse
I do implore thee by thy fair right hand.
Hippolytus
Let go my hand, touch not my robe.
Nurse
O by thy knees I pray, destroy me not utterly.
Hippolytus
Why say this, if, as thou pretendest, thy lips are free from blame?
Nurse
My son, this is no story to be noised abroad.
Hippolytus
A virtuous tale grows fairer told to many.
