From sin; for sometimes faith itself is sin.
Deianira: Lest someone hear my secret, look about;
In all directions turn thy watchful gaze.
Nurse: Behold, the place is free from curious eyes.
Deianira: Deep hidden, far within this royal pile,485
There is a cave that guards my secret well.
Neither the rising sun can reach the spot
With its fresh beams; nor can its latest rays,
When Titan leads the weary day to rest,
And plunges 'neath the ruddy ocean's waves.
