JASON. Nay, then, that thou may'st know how I have yet
Some kindness left, take with thee when thou goest
One of the babes.
MEDEA. But one? Say, only one?
JASON. Beware thou ask too much! The little I
Have just now granted, oversteps the right.
MEDEA. Which shall it be?
JASON. We'll leave the choice to them,
The babes themselves; and whichsoever will,
Him thou shalt take.
MEDEA. O thanks a thousand times,
Thou gentle, kindly man! He lies who calls
Thee traitor!
[The KING_ appears at the door._]
JASON. Come, my lord!
KING. Is't settled, then?
JASON. She goes; and I have granted her to take
One of the children with her.
