'Tis what I've reason to believe, Alcander, And you can give me none for loving me: I'm much unlike Lucinda whom you sigh'd for, I'm not so coy, nor so reserv'd as she; Nor so designing as Florana your next Saint, Who starv'd you up with hope, till you grew weary; And then Ardelia did restore that loss, The little soft Ardelia, kind and fair too. Alcan.
I'm wounded, yet I will not leave him so; There may be Mischief in him, though unarm'd. SCENE VI. A Bed-chamber. Isil. Ah, Madam, Alcippus. Er. Alcippus, where? Isil. I left him in a quarrel with Alcander, And hear him coming up. Er. For Heaven's sake, Sir, submit to be conceal'd. Phi. Not for the world, Erminia, My Innocence shall be my guard and thine. Er. He comes; Philander, for my safety go.
Gammon clicked together his bony fists, as hard as flints. "And that's another point!" said Hiram, hastily. "You've seen to-day that I'm a pretty shrewd chap to guess. I've been round the world enough to put two and two together. Makin' man my study is how I've got my property. Now, Gammon, you've got that writin' by Squire Alcander Reeves.
For that, Alcander, you know more than I. Fal. Why sure Aminta will instruct her better, She's as inconstant as the Seas and Winds, Which ne'er are calm but to betray Adventurers. Alcan. How came you by that knowledg, Sir? Fal. Pis. Prithee, Alcander, now we talk of her, How go the Amours 'twixt you and my wild Sister?
Be still; 'tis she you must possess, 'Tis she must make your happiness; 'Tis she must lead you on to find Those Blessings Heaven has design'd: 'Tis she'll conduct you, where you'll prove The perfect Joys of grateful Love. Enter Aminta like Glory, Alcander representing Honour. They pass over and bow, and go out. Glory and Honour wait on her.
Why do I shake it is Erminia's form And can that Beauty ought that's ill adorn? In every part Erminia does appear, And sure no Devil can inhabit there. Phi. Ha Oh Gods, I charge thee not to vanish yet! I charge thee by those Powers thou dost obey, Not to deprive me of thy blessed sight. Er. Enter Alcander. Phi. I'm not content with that. Stay, stay, my dear Erminia. Alcan. Phi.

A controversy respecting the merits of Sir Richard Blackmore may prove too little exciting at the present time, and he can turn for relief to the epistle "Studiosus" addresses to "Alcander." If the lines of "The Minstrel" who hails, like Longfellow in later years, from "The District of Main," fail to satisfy him, he cannot accuse "R.T. Paine, Jr., Esq.," of tameness when he exclaims:
"Bet ye money to mushmelons," mumbled Hiram as they passed, "he's got a warrant from old Alcander and is on his way to arrest." "I know he is," affirmed the Cap'n. "Every time he sticks that old tin badge on the outside of his coat he's on the war-path. Whip up, Hiram!" From afar they spied the tall figure of Dependence Crymble passing wraithlike to and fro across the yard.
On the wedding night the bride confesses her love for Philander and refuses to admit Alcippus to her love. The dauphin at the same time serenades Erminia at her chamber door, but Pisaro, a friend to Alcippus, meeting him, there is a scuffle during which Alcander, the prince's companion, wounds the intruder. The noise rouses Erminia who issues from her room and encounters Philander.
