Theseus: O that holy, noble soul of thine!

Hippolytus: Pray to have children such as me born in lawful wedlock.

Theseus: O leave me not, my son; endure awhile.

Hippolytus: 'Tis finished, my endurance; I die, father; quickly veil
my face with a mantle.

Theseus: O glorious Athens, realm of Pallas, what a splendid hero
ye have lost! Ah me, ah me! How oft shall I remember thy evil works,
Cypris!

Chorus: (singing) On all our citizens hath come this universal sorrow,
unforeseen. Now shall the copious tear gush forth, for sad news about
great men takes more than usual hold upon the heart.
