The death, or flee discomfited? And yet

He should unharmed depart. Dread Hecate!

Be it thy pleasure! let him homeward pass,

And ’scape his threatened fate; or, if his fate

Beneath the bulls have destined him to fall,

First let him know that in his wretched end

Medea does not glory.’ So disturbed,

Mused the sad virgin in her anguished thoughts.”
