Leader: I am silent; this is surely the prelude to evil.

Phaedra: (chanting) Great gods! how awful are my sufferings!

Chorus: (chanting) What a cry was there! what loud alarm! say what
sudden terror, lady, doth thy soul dismay.

Phaedra: I am undone. Stand here at the door and hear the noise arising in the house.

Chorus: (chanting) Thou art already by the bolted door; 'tis for
thee to note the sounds that issue from within. And tell me, O tell
me what evil can be on foot.

Phaedra: 'Tis the son of the horse-loving Amazon who calls, Hippolytus,
uttering foul curses on my servant.

Chorus: (chanting) I hear a noise but cannot dearly tell which way
it comes. Ah! 'tis through the door the sound reached thee.
