Scene I

––––––––

Medea [alone]. Ye gods of marriage;

Lucina, guardian of the genial bed;

Pallas, who taught the tamer of the seas

To steer the Argo; stormy ocean's lord;

Titan, dividing bright day to the world;

And thou three-formed Hecate, who dost shed

Thy conscious splendor on the hidden rites!

Ye by whom Jason plighted me his troth;

And ye Medea rather should invoke:

Chaos of night eternal; realm opposed

To the celestial powers; abandoned souls;

Queen of the dusky realm; Persephone

By better faith betrayed; you I invoke,

But with no happy voice. Approach, approach,

Avenging goddesses with snaky hair,

Holding in blood-stained hands your sulphurous torch!

Come now as horrible as when of yore

Ye stood beside my marriage-bed; bring death

To the new bride, and to the royal seed,

And Creon; worse for Jason I would ask—

Life! Let him roam in fear through unknown lands,

An exile, hated, poor, without a home;

A guest now too well known, let him, in vain,

Seek alien doors, and long for me, his wife!

And, yet a last revenge, let him beget

Sons like their father, daughters like their mother!

'Tis done; revenge is even now brought forth—

I have borne sons to Jason. I complain

Vainly, and cry aloud with useless words,

Why do I not attack mine enemies?

I will strike down the torches from their hands,

The light from heaven. Does the sun see this,

The author of our race, and still give light?

And, sitting in his chariot, does he still

Run through the accustomed spaces of the sky,

Nor turn again to seek his rising place,

And measure back the day? Give me
