Jason: Where slew she them; within the palace or outside?

Leader: Throw wide the doors and see thy children's murdered corpses.

Jason: Haste, ye slaves, loose the bolts, undo the fastenings, that
I may see the sight of twofold woe, my murdered sons and her, whose
blood in vengeance I will shed. (Medea appears above the house, on
a chariot drawn by dragons; the children's corpses are beside her.)

Medea: Why shake those doors and attempt to loose their bolts, in
quest of the dead and me their murderess? From such toil desist. If
thou wouldst aught with me, say on, if so thou wilt; but never shalt
thou lay hand on me, so swift the steeds the sun, my father's sire,
to me doth give to save me from the hand of my foes.
