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 himl

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.
