My faithful service?
PHAEDRA What do you expect From words so bitter? Were I to break silence Horror would freeze your blood. OENONE What can you say To horrify me more than to behold You die before my eyes? PHAEDRA When you shall know My crime, my death will follow none the less, But with the added stain of guilt. OENONE Dear Madam, By all the tears that I have shed for you, By these weak knees I clasp, relieve my mind From torturing doubt. PHAEDRA It is your wish. Then rise. OENONE I hear you. Speak. PHAEDRA |
