SCENE the ELEVENTH.

LYCANDER and JASON.
LYCANDER.
Whate'er this mystic language may import,
Prince, give attention.

JASON.
Speak.

LYCANDER.
Thy only course
Is to embark from Corinth with Medea.


76

JASON.
It was my secret and determin'd purpose.

LYCANDER.
Nor yet a secret. Our suspicious tyrant,
If he could rule his discontented subjects,
Would stop thy passage. But thy just design
The public shall befriend by me alarm'd
At Creon's threat to violate the grove.

JASON.
Can I requite thee?

LYCANDER.
Let me serve thee first;
Requite me after, as my wants may dictate.
Is not thy father yonder?

JASON.
Let him come.
Go and expect me shortly on the beach.
