Yes, base Alcippus, I have still that Courage, Th'effects of which thou hast beheld with wonder; And now being fortified by Innocence, Thou't find sufficient to chastise thy boldness: Restore my Sword, and prove the truth of this. Alcip. I've hardly so much Calmness left to answer thee, And tell thee, Prince, thou art deceiv'd in me.
Alcip. Thou hast amaz'd me, prithee speak more clearly. Pis. My Lord, the Princess has a passion for you, Have I not reason now to be your Enemy? Alcip. Not till I make returns: But now I'm past redemption miserable. 'Twas she Erminia told me dy'd for me; And I believ'd it but a slight of hers, To put me from my Courtship. Pis.
I have nought to say to her dishonour, Sir, But something may be done may give you cause To stand upon your Guard; And if your Rage do not the mastery get, I cannot doubt but what you'll be happy yet. Alcip.
Help, Murder! Murder! Pis. Hold, bawling Dog. Alcip. How cam'st thou thus? Come up into my Arms. Pis. 'Twas Jealousy, Alcippus, that wild Monster, Who never leaves us till he has thus betray'd us. Pox on't, I am asham'd to look upon thee. I have disturb'd you to no purpose, Sir. I am not wounded, go to bed again. Alcan. I'll see thee to thy Lodgings first, Pisaro. Pis.
Yet now should even her best belov'd, the Prince, With all his Youth, his Beauties and Desires, Fall at her Feet, and tell his tale of Love, She hardly would return his amorous Smiles, Or pay his meeting Kisses back again; Is not that fine, Pisaro? Pis. Sir, 'tis no time to talk in, come with me, For here's no safety for a Murderer. Alcip. I will not go, alas I seek no Safety. Pis.
Pardon me, Dear, the errors of my Passion; It was a Sin so natural, That even thy unkindly taking it Approach'd too near it, not to gain my Pardon; But tell me why you askt me for Alcippus? Er. Phi. Thou hast restor'd me to a world of Joys, By what thou now hast said. Alcip. Erminia! and the Prince! embracing too! Er. Alcip. Yes, Madam, Too soon arriv'd for his and your repose. Phi.
Erminia's Spirit, in a glorious form. Pis. I do believe you. Alcip. Why, is't not strange? Pis. It would have been, had I not heard already She has this night appear'd to several Persons, In several Shapes; the first was to the Prince; And said so many pretty things for you, As has persuaded him to pardon you. Alcip. Oh Gods, what Fortune's mine!
Me, what dare you now? Phi. I dare declare that I can hear no more; Be witness, Heaven, how justly I'm compell'd. Alcip. Now, Sir, you are brave and love Erminia too. Phi. We are here not safe, these Women will betray us. Alcip. Sir, 'tis a work that will soon be dispatcht, And this a place and time most proper for't. Fal. peeps in and runs away. Enter Pisaro, runs between. Pis.
Nay, I will forget it; I do not merit so much peace of mind, As the relation of that Dream will give me: Oh, 'twas so perfect, too, I hardly can persuade my self I slept! Dost thou believe there may be Apparitions? Pis. Doubtless, my Lord, there be. Alcip. I never could believe it till this hour, By Heavens, I think I saw them too, Pisaro. Pis. 'Tis very possible you're not deceiv'd. Alcip.
That being Philander's, he'll preserve his own; And that, Erminia, sure you'll ne'er distrust. Er. Ah, Madam, give me leave to fear the worst. Enter Aminta. Am. Madam, Alcippus waits for your Commands, He's going to the Camp. Gal. Admit him. Enter Alcippus and Pisaro. Gal. Alcippus, 'tis too soon to leave Erminia. Alcip.
