Leader: Why, then, dost thou neglect to greet an august goddess?

Hippolytus: Whom speak'st thou of? Keep watch upon thy tongue lest
it same mischief cause.

Leader: Cypris I mean, whose image is stationed o'er thy gate.

Hippolytus: I greet her from afar, preserving still my chastity.

Leader: Yet is she an august goddess, far renowned on earth.

Hippolytus: 'Mongst gods as well as men we have our several preferences.

Leader: I wish thee luck, and wisdom too, so far as thou dost need
it.

Hippolytus: No god, whose worship craves the night, hath charms for
me.
