334 RACINE CEnone.— What can you say- To horrify me more than to behold You die before my eyes ? Ph^dra.— When you shall know My crime, my death will follow none the less, But with the added stain of guilt. CEnone.— Dear Madam, By all the tears that I have shed for you. By these weak knees I clasp, relieve my mind From torturing doubt. Ph^dra.— It is your wish. Then rise. CEnone.—I hear you. Speak. Ph^dra.— Heav'ns! How shall I begin? CEnone.—Dismiss vain fears, you wound me with distrust. Ph^dra.—O fatal animosity of Venus Into what wild distractions did she cast My mother CEnone.— Be they blotted from remembrance, And for all time to come buried in silence. <strong>Phaedra</strong>.—My sister Ariadne, by what love Were you betray'd to death, on lonely shores Forsaken CEnone.— Madam, what deep-seated pain Prompts these reproaches against all your kin ? Ph^dra.—It is the will of Venus, and I perish, Last, most unhappy of a family Where all were wretched. CEnone.— Do you love? ' Ph^dra.— I feel All its mad fever. CEnone.—Ah ! For whom ? <strong>Phaedra</strong>.— Hear now The crowning horror. Yes, I love—my lips Tremble to say his name. CEnone.— Whom ?_ Ph^dra.— Know you him, Son of the Amazon, whom I've oppress'd So long ? CEnone.— Hippolytus? Great gods! Ph^dra.— 'Tis you Have named him.
PH^DRA 335 CEnone,— All my blood within my veins Seems frozen. O despair ! O cursed race Ill-omen'd journey ! Land of misery Why did we ever reach thy dangerous shores ? Ph^dra.—My wound is not so recent. Scarcely had I Been bound to Theseus by the marriage yoke, And happiness and peace seem'd well secured, When Athens show'd me my proud enemy. I look'd, alternately turn'd pale and blush'd To see him, and my soul grew all distraught A mist obscured my vision, and my voice Falter'd, my blood ran cold, then burn'd like fire; ; Venus I felt in all my fever'd frame. Whose fury had so many of my race Pursued. With fervent vows I sought to shun Her torments, built and deck'd for her a shrine, And there, 'mid countless victims did I seek The reason I had lost ; but all for nought. No remedy could cure the wounds of love In vain I offer'd incense on her altars When I invoked her name, my heart adored Hippolytus, before me constantly And when I made her altars smoke with victims, 'Twas for a god whose name I dared not utter. I fled his presence everywhere, but found him crowning horror !—in his father's features. Against myself, at last, I raised revolt, ^^ "' And stirr'd my courage up to persecute ^ The enemy I loved. To banish him 1 wore a step-dame's harsh and jealous carriage, With ceaseless cries I clamor'd for his exile. Till I had torn him from his father's arms. I breathed once more, CEnone ; in his absence My days flow'd on less troubled than before. And innocent. Submissive to my husband, I hid my grief, and of our fatal marriage Cherish'd the fruits. Vain caution ! Cruel Fate! Brought hither by my spouse himself, I saw Again the enemy whom I had banish'd, And the old wound too quickly bled afresh. No longer is it love hid in my heart,
