ARGONAUTAE.
ACTUS QUARTUS.
Jason, MEDEA, ORPHEUS, THESEUS, HERACLES,
Chorus of Heroes, the Sirens.
ScENE: Zhe Argo.
MEDEA.
Ay! I would murder not my brother only,
But tear my own limbs, strew them on the sea,
To keep one fury from the man I love!
CHORUS.
This act and speech are much akin to madness.
MEDEA.
Remember that your own skins pay the price.
CHORUS.
I now remember somewhat of the voice
Of the oracle, that Madness should hunt hard
On the thief’s furtive track, upon the prow
Brooding, and at the table president,
And spouse-like in the bed.
