For aye, because of their unhallowed deaths.
But I go to the city of Erechtheus, 1401 (1384)
To dwell with Ægeus there, Pandion's son.
For thee, as is most fit, thou, an ill man,
Shalt die an ill death, thy head battered in
By the ruins of thine Argo: that, to thee, 1405 (1387)
The sharp last sequel of our wedding tie.


Jason.

And Vengeance for blood.


Medea.

And who among gods and friends will hear thee,
Betrayer of strangers and breaker of oaths? 1410 (1392)


Jason.

Out, out, stained wretch and child murderess.


Medea.

Go now to thy home and bury thy bride.


Jason.

I go. Yea, of both my children bereft.


Medea.

Thy wail is yet nothing. Wait and grow old.
