Nurse Monologue from Hippolytus

From Hippolytus by Euripides

female · defiant · 42 sec

Why prate so proud! 'Tis no words, brave nor base Thou cravest; 'tis a man's arms! Up and face The truth of what thou art, and name it straight! Were not thy life thrown open here for Fate To beat on; hadst thou been a woman pure Or wise or strong; never had I for lure Of joy nor heartache led thee on to this! But when a whole life one great battle is, To win or lose--no man can blame me then.
