chastity�察�while I�察�though chaste�察�was not discreet in using this
virtue。
LEADER
Thy oath by heaven�察�strong security�察�sufficiently refutes the
charge。
THESEUS
A wizard or magician must the fellow be�察�to think he can first
flout me�察�his father�察�then by coolness master my resolve。
HIPPOLYTUS
Father�察�thy part in this doth fill me with amaze�察�wert thou my son
and I thy sire�察�by heaven� �I would have slain�察�not let thee off with
banishment�察�hadst thou presumed to violate my honour。
THESEUS
A just remark� �yet shalt thou not die by the sentence thine own
lips pronounce upon thyself�察�for death�察�that cometh in a moment�察�is an
easy end for wretchedness。 Nay�察�thou shalt be exiled from thy
fatherland�察�and wandering to a foreign shore drag out a life of
misery�察�for such are the wages of sin。
HIPPOLYTUS
Oh� �what wilt thou do�拭�Wilt thou banish me�察�without so much as
waiting for Time's evidence on my case��
THESEUS
Ay�察�beyond the sea�察�beyond the bounds of Atlas�察�if I could�察�so
deeply do I hate thee。
HIPPOLYTUS
What� �banish me untried�察�without even testing my oath�察�the
pledge offer�察�or the voice of seers��
THESEUS
This letter here�察�though it bears no seers' signs�察�arraigns thy
pledges�察�as for birds that fly o'er our heads�察�a long farewell to
them。
HIPPOLYTUS ��aside��
Great gods� �why do I not unlock my lips�察�seeing that I am ruined
by you�察�the objects of my reverence�拭�No�察�I will not�察�I should nowise
persuade those whom I ought to�察�and in vain should break the oath I
swore。
THESEUS
Fie upon thee� �that solemn air of thine is more than I can bear。
Begone from thy native land forthwith��
HIPPOLYTUS
Whither shall I turn�拭�Ah me� �whose friendly house will take me in��
an exile on so grave�察�a charge��
THESEUS
Seek one who loves to entertain as guests and partners in his
crimes corrupters of men's wives。
HIPPOLYTUS
Ah me� �this wounds my heart and brings me nigh to tears to think
that I should appear so vile�察�and thou believe me so。
THESEUS
Thy tears and forethought had been more in season when thou
didst presume to outrage thy father's wife。
HIPPOLYTUS
O house�察�I would thou couldst speak for me and witness if I am
so vile��
THESEUS
Dost fly to speechless witnesses�拭�This deed�察�though it speaketh
not�察�proves thy guilt clearly。
HIPPOLYTUS
Alas� �Would I could stand and face myself�察�so should I weep to see
the sorrows I endure。
THESEUS
Ay�察�'tis thy character to honour thyself far more than reverence
thy parents�察�as thou shouldst。
HIPPOLYTUS
Unhappy mother� �son of sorrow� �Heaven keep all friends of mine
from bastard birth��
THESEUS
Ho� �servants�察�drag him hence� �You heard my proclamation long ago
condemning him to exile。
HIPPOLYTUS
Whoso of them doth lay a hand on me shall rue it�察�thyself expel
me�察�if thy spirit move thee�察�from the land。
THESEUS
I will�察�unless my word thou straight obey�察�no pity for thy exile
steals into my heart。
��THESEUS goes in。 The central doors of the palace are closed。��
HIPPOLYTUS
The sentence then�察�it seems�察�is passed。 Ah�察�misery� �How well I
know the truth herein�察�but know no way to tell it� �O daughter of
Latona�察�dearest to me of all deities�察�partner�察�comrade in the chase��
far from glorious Athens must I fly。 Farewell�察�city and land of
Erechtheus�察�farewell�察�Troezen�察�most joyous home wherein to pass the
spring of life�察�'tis my last sight of thee�察�farewell� �Come�察�my
comrades in this land�察�young like me�察�greet me kindly and escort me
forth�察�for never will ye behold a purer soul�察�for all my father's
doubts。
��HIPPOLYTUS departs。 Many follow him。��
CHORUS ��singing��
strophe 1
In very deed the thoughts I have about the gods�察�whenso they
come into my mind�察�do much to soothe its grief�察�but though I cherish
secret hopes of some great guiding will�察�yet am I at fault when survey
the fate and doings of the sons of men�察�change succeeds to change�察�and
man's life veers and shifts in endless restlessness。
antistrophe 1
Fortune grant me this�察�I pray�察�at heaven's hand�察�a happy lot in
life and a soul from sorrow free�察�opinions let me hold not too precise
nor yet too hollow�察�but�察�lightly changing my habits to each morrow
as it comes�察�may I thus attain a life of bliss��
strophe 2
For now no more is my mind free from doubts�察�unlooked´for sights
greet my vision�察�for lo� �I see the morning star of Athens�察�eye of
Hellas�察�driven by his father's fury to another land。 Mourn�察�ye sands
of my native shores�察�ye oak´groves on the hills�察�where with his
fleet hounds he would hunt the quarry to the death�察�attending on
Dictynna�察�awful queen。
antistrophe 2
No more will he mount his car drawn by Venetian steeds�察�filling
the course round Limna with the prancing of his trained horses。
Nevermore in his father's house shall he wake the Muse that never
slept beneath his lute´strings�察�no hand will crown the spots where
rests the maiden Latona 'mid the boskage deep�察�nor evermore shall
our virgins vie to win thy love�察�now thou art banished。
epode
While I with tears at thy unhappy fate shall endure a lot all
undeserved。 Ah� �hapless mother�察�in vain didst thou bring forth�察�it
seems。 I am angered with the gods�察�out upon them� �O ye linked
Graces�察�why are ye sending from his native land this poor youth��
guiltless sufferer�察�far from his home��
LEADER OF THE CHORUS
But lo� �I see a servant of Hippolytus hasting with troubled
looks towards the palace。
��A MESSENGER enters。��
MESSENGER
Ladies�察�where may I find Theseus�察�king of the country�拭�pray��
tell me if ye know�察�is he within the palace here��
LEADER
Lo� �himself approaches from the palace。
��THESEUS enters。��
MESSENGER
Theseus�察�I am the bearer of troublous tidings to thee and all
citizens who dwell in Athens or the bounds of Troezen。
THESEUS
How now�拭�hath some strange calamity o'ertaken these two
neighbouring cities��
MESSENGER
In one brief word�察�Hippolytus is dead。 'Tis true one slender
thread still links him to the light of life。
THESEUS
Who slew him�拭�Did some husband come to blows with him�察�one whose
wife�察�like mine�察�had suffered brutal violence��
MESSENGER
He perished through those steeds that drew his chariot and through
the curses thou didst utter�察�praying to thy sire�察�the ocean´king�察�to
slay thy son。
THESEUS
Ye gods and king Poseidon�察�thou hast proved my parentage by
hearkening to my prayer� �Say how he perished�察�how fell the uplifted
hand of justice to smite the villain who dishonoured me��
MESSENGER
Hard by the wave´beat shore were we combing out his horses' manes��
weeping the while�察�for one had come to say that Hippolytus was harshly
exiled by thee and nevermore would return to set foot in this land。
Then came he�察�telling the same doleful tale to us upon the beach��
and with him was a countless throng of friends who followed after。
At length he stayed his lamentation and spake�此 �Why weakly rave on
this wise�拭�My father's commands must be obeyed。 Ho� �servants��
harness my horses to the chariot�察�this is no longer now city of mine。;
Thereupon each one of us bestirred himself�察�and�察�ere a man could say
'twas done�察�we had the horses standing ready at our master's side。
Then he caught up the reins from the chariot´rail�察�first fitting his
feet exactly in the hollows made for them。 But first with outspread
palms he called upon the gods�察 �O Zeus�察�now strike me dead�察�if I
have sinned�察�and let my father learn how he is wronging me�察�in death
at least�察�if not in life。; Therewith he seized the whip and lashed
each horse in turn�察�while we�察�close by his chariot�察�near the reins��
kept up with him along the road that leads direct to Argos and
Epidaurus。 And just as we were coming to a desert spot�察�a strip of
sand beyond the borders of this country�察�sloping right to the
Saronic gulf�察�there issued thence a deep rumbling sound�察�as it were an
earthquake�察�fearsome noise�察�and the horses reared their heads and
pricked their ears�察�while we were filled with wild alarm to know
whence came the sound�察�when�察�as we gazed toward the wave´beat shore�察�a
wave tremendous we beheld towering to the skies�察�so that from our view
the cliffs of Sciron vanished�察�for it hid the isthmus and the rock
of Asclepius�察�then swelling and frothing with a crest of foam�察�the sea
discharged it toward the beach where stood the harnes
