Medea: O, say not so! by thy knees and by thy daughter newlywed, I do implore!

Creon: Thou wastest words; thou wilt never persuade me.

Medea: What, wilt thou banish me, and to my prayers no pity yield?

Creon: I will, for I love not thee above my own family.

Medea: O my country! what fond memories I have of thee in this hour!

Creon: Yea, for I myself love my city best of all things save my children.

Medea: Ah me! ah me! to mortal man how dread a scourge is love!

Creon: That, I deem, is according to the turn our fortunes take.

Medea: O Zeus! let not the author of these my troubles escape thee.
