JASON. See, they hearken not!

MEDEA. O children, children!

KING (to CREUSA).

Lead them back again
Into the palace! 'Tis not meet they hate
The mother that did bear them.

[CREUSA moves away with the children.]

MEDEA. Woe is me!
They flee! My children flee before my face!

KING (to JASON).

Come we away! To weep for what must be
Is fruitless!

[They depart.]

MEDEA. O my babes, my little babes!
