Read a passage
C'était jadis une superstition universelle de croire qu'un grand revers inattendu était l'effet de la vengeance céleste qui punissait l'homme d'un crime caché. Ægéon veut persuader à ceux qui l'entendent que son malheur n'est ici l'effet que de la destinée humaine, et non la peine d'un crime. WARBURTON.
Was wrought by nature and not by vile offense,
par cette phrase: Ma perte est l'ouvrage de la nature et non la peine d'un crime honteux et caché. Nous avons adopté une explication plus simple de ce mot nature. Nature est ici pour affection naturelle... Ægéon est victime de son amour paternel; c'est ce sentiment qui le conduit à Éphèse et qui cause sa mort.
LE DUC.—Poursuis, vieillard: n'interromps point ton récit: nous pouvons du moins te plaindre si nous ne pouvons te pardonner.
