ACTUS SECUNDUS
Till the Three Worlds flicker and falter,
And life and her love be dead!
In mysterious joy
Awake—and destroy!
JASON.
It is enough!
HERACLES.
Too great for a god’s strength!
THESEUS.
Speak!
CASTOR.
Change! Not to be borne!
POLLUX.
But this is death!
ORPHEUS,
Let the light fade. The oracle is past.
JASON.
The Voice is past. We are alive again.
ORPHEUS.
What spake That Silence?
HERACLES.
“This is not a quest
Where strength availeth aught.” I shall not go.
JASON.
Nay, brother. The voice was: “The end is sorrow!”
