JASON. Thou'rt unjust,
And hard and wild as ever!

MEDEA. I unjust!
Thou dost not seek her, then, to wife? Say no!

JASON. I do but seek a place to lay me down
And rest. What else will come, I do not know!

MEDEA. Ay, but I know full well, and it shall be
My task to thwart thee, with the help of heaven!

JASON. Thou canst not speak with calmness, so, farewell!

[He takes a step toward the door.]

MEDEA. Jason!

JASON (turning back).

What wouldst thou?

MEDEA. 'Tis, perchance, the last,
Last time that we shall speak together!
