SCENE VII.

MADAUCES.
Stay, Melampus!
I am excluded. To a real foe,
No airy spectre, is he now expos'd.
From me no succour can he find but prayers.
Thou rising god, whose comprehensive eye
Now o'er the bright horizon beams afresh,
And views the bravest of mankind in peril,
Resent no longer thy Medea's wrong.
Compassionate the penitential Jason;
And with the swiftness of thy rays direct
His rapid jav'lin to the monster's heart.
(Looking attentively, as on some distant object.)
My eyes, be steady. Luminous in gold,
Dropp'd through th' unclosing portals of the east,
A cloud, low waving, skims along the vale.
26

The fleecy radiance opens. Two bright forms
Descend, and hither point their gliding course.
