Medea, by Euripides
(Auto-generated)
- A wise-woman I am; and for that sin To divers ill names men would pen me in; A seed of strife; an eastern dreamer; one Of brand not theirs; one hard to play upon ...Ah, I am not so wondrous wise!†
*strife = violent conflict or angry disagreement
- The pent hate of the word that cavilleth, The strife that hath no fill, Where once was fondness; and the mad heart's breath For strange love panting still: O Cyprian, cast me not on these; but sift, Keen-eyed, of love the good and evil gift.†
- ...I sought to smooth away The long strife with your father, and, lo, now I have all drowned with tears this little brow!†
