Phaedra: 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 strik'st 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.
