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 suppliant touch.

Nurse: Henceforth I hold my peace; 'tis thine to speak from now.
