ACTUS QUARTUS 21
JASON,
Those isles have faded: was this vision true?
HERACLES.
I know not what hath passed: I seem asleep
Still, with the dream yet racing in my brain,
THESEUS.
There was a sweetness: whether sight or song
I know not.
JASON.
But my veins grew strong and swollen,
And madness came upon me.
MEDEA.
You are here,
Let that suffice. Remember not!
ORPHEUS.
; But now
I see the haze lift on the water-way,
And hidden headlands loom again.
JASON.
I know
The pleasant portals.
CHORUS.
Here is home at last.
ORPHEUS.
The sunset comes: the mist is lifted now
To let the last kiss of the daylight fall
Once ere night whisper “Sleep!”
K
