Medea.
Ægeus, my husband is the chief of villains. 686 (690)
Ægeus.
What sayest thou? Speak me plainly all thy cares.
Medea.

Ægeus.

Medea.
Another wife is mistress of his home. 690 (694)

Medea.
Know it: I am dishonoured, I once dear.
Ægeus.
Whether fallen amorous or hating thee?
Medea.
Oh much enamoured! Faithless to old ties!
Ægeus.
Why, let him go being, as thou sayst, a villain.
