ÆG. What sayest thou? tell me all thy troubles.
MED. Jason wrongs me, having never suffered wrong from me.
ÆG. Having done what? tell me more clearly.
MED. He hath here a wife besides me, mistress of the house.
ÆG. Hath he dared to commit this disgraceful action?
MED. Be assured he has; but we his former friends are dishonored.
ÆG. Enamored of her, or hating thy bed?
MED. [Smitten with] violent love indeed, he was faithless to his friends.
ÆG. Let him perish then, since, as you say, he is a bad man.
MED. He was charmed to receive an alliance with princes.
