SCENE II.
Enter Hypsipyle in haste.Hyp.
Sure Rhodope has reach'd this place before me;
But hark! she's here: fly swift, my friend, to Jason,
[meeting Eurynome, she takes her for Rhodope.
Tell him the king yet lives, and that this hour

Perhaps may meet us, and secure our flight.

[to herself.]
What secret treason here has chance discover'd!
Now well I know, my son, why round me hovers

Been plung'd in guilt? And must the tyrant live?
O no—nor shall it e'er be said I've lost,
The fruit of all my crimes, a great revenge.
[goes out in a rage.
