Theseus: My son, I am a ruined man; life has no joys for me.

Hippolytus: For this mistake I mourn thee rather than myself.

Theseus: O that I had died for thee, my son!

Hippolytus: Ah! those fatal gifts thy sire Poseidon gave.

Theseus: Would God these lips had never uttered that prayer!

Hippolytus: Why not? thou wouldst in any case have slain me in thy fury then.

Theseus: Yes; Heaven had perverted my power to think.

Hippolytus: O that the race of men could bring a curse upon the gods!
