| Scene IV |
THESEUS, HIPPOLYTUS, PHÆDRA, ŒNONE, THERAMENES Theseus Fortune no longer fights against my wishes, | |
| Madam, and to your arms restores— | |
Phædra Stay, Theseus! | |
| Do not profane endearments that were once | |
| So sweet, but which I am unworthy now | 5 |
| To taste. You have been wrong’d. Fortune has proved | |
| Spiteful, nor in your absence spared your wife. | |
| I am unfit to meet your fond caress, | |
| How I may bear my shame my only care | |
| Henceforth. | 10 |
