Phaedra: Yes, yes, he is calling her plainly enough a go-between in
vice, traitress to her master's honour.

Chorus: (chanting) Woe, woe is me! thou art betrayed, dear mistress!
What counsel shall I give thee? thy secret is out; thou art utterly undone.

Phaedra: Ah me! ah me!

Chorus: (chanting) Betrayed by friends!

Phaedra: She hath ruined me by speaking of my misfortune; 'twas kindly
meant, but an ill way to cure my malady.

Leader of the Chorus: O what wilt thou do now in thy cruel dilemma?

Phaedra: I only know one way, one cure for these my woes, and that
is instant death. (Hippolytus bursts out of the palace, followed
closely by the Nurse.)
