ACTUS SECUNDUS
Till the Three Worlds flicker and falter,
And life and her love be dead!
In mysterious joy
Awake—and destroy!
JASON.

HERACLES.

THESEUS.
Speak!
CASTOR.
Change! Not to be borne!
POLLUX.

ORPHEUS,
Let the light fade. The oracle is past.
JASON.
The Voice is past. We are alive again.
ORPHEUS.

HERACLES.
“This is not a quest
Where strength availeth aught.” I shall not go.
JASON.
