Thomasina Ross translation

A few lines of this scene will serve to shew how Bermudez has imitated the dialogic antitheses of the Greek tragedy.

In. Adonde huyre porque me dexen?

Se. Huyr auras de ti por tu remedio.

In. Ya no me vale hazer lo que no puedo.

Se. Tu mismo te pusiste en tal flaqueza.

In. No puedo, ni querria arrepentirme.

Se. Con essa voluntad el yerro cresce.

In. Si es yerro como dizes, otros uvo.

Se. Uno, mas toda via fueron yerros.
