Section 1: The Book of Ruth

But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

She asked him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?”

Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

Section 2: The Medea

Here she’s lived in exile with her husband / and children, and Medea’s presence pleased / the citizens. For her part, she complied / with Jason in all things. There is no greater / security than this in all the world: / when a wife does not oppose her husband. / But now there’s only hatred. What should be / most loved has been contaminated . . . / . . . / Poor Medea, mournful and dishonored, . . . / This disaster made her realize: / a fatherland is no small thing to lose.

Rulers are fierce / in their temperament; somehow, they will not be governed; / they like to have power, always, over others. / They’re harsh, and they’re stubborn. It’s better to live / as an equal with equals. I never would want / to be grand and majestic—just let me grow old / in simple security. Even the word / “moderation” sounds good when you say it. For mortals / the middle is safest, in word and in deed. / Too much is too much . . .
