in
Medea, by Euripides - (translated by: E.P. Coleridge)
- MEDEA Not that, not that, I do entreat thee, Creon CREON Thou wilt cause disturbance yet, it seems.†
*entreat = ask earnestly
- A servant of mine will I to Jason send and crave an interview; then when he comes I will address him with soft words, say, "this pleases me," and, "that is well," even the marriage with the princess, which my treacherous lord is celebrating, and add "it suits us both, 'twas well thought out"; then will I entreat that here my children may abide, not that I mean to leave them in a hostile land for foes to flout, but that I may slay the king's daughter by guile.†
