PART TWO Eloise

Part Two

Eloise

To die by other hands more merciless than mine.

No; I who gave them life will give them death.

Oh, now no cowardice, no thought how young they are,

How dear they are, how when they first were born—-

Not that—-I will forget they are my sons

One moment, one short moment—-then forever sorrow.

—Euripides, Medea
