What means that sword? or why these loud laments?
Why weepest thou above the hated corpse?
Phaedra: Me, me, O savage ruler of the deep,
Attack; against me send the monstrous shapes1160
That breed within the caverns of the sea,
Whatever Tethys in her heart conceals,
And ocean hides within his wandering waves.
O Theseus, always ill of omen thou!
Oh, never to thy loved ones safe returned,
Since son and father by their death have paid1165
