The Goddess Artemis is with me here.
ARTEMIS With thee and loving thee, poor sufferer! HIPPOLYTUS Dost see me, Mistress, nearing my last sleep? ARTEMIS Aye, and would weep for thee, if Gods could weep. HIPPOLYTUS Who now shall hunt with thee or hold thy quiver? ARTEMIS He dies but my love cleaves to him for ever. HIPPOLYTUS Who guide thy chariot, keep thy shrine-flowers fresh? ARTEMIS The accursed Cyprian caught him in her mesh! HIPPOLYTUS The Cyprian? Now I see it!--Aye, 'twas she. ARTEMIS She missed her worship, loathed thy chastity! HIPPOLYTUS |
