SCENE the FOURTH.

CREON and LYCANDER.
CREON.
Where hast thou loiter'd to conceal th'arrival
Of this accurst enchantress, and the purpose
Of thy rebellious sister to protect her?

LYCANDER.
My lord, these tidings are to me unknown;
But further news of high import I bear.
Iolchian Æson, Jason's royal sire,
Advancing now anticipates this notice.
