Yes you may disapprove this flame in me, But cannot hinder what the Gods decree; Search here this truth; Alas, I cannot fear; Your Steel shall find a welcome entrance here. Alcip. Where dost thou think thy ungrateful Soul will go, Loaded with wrongs to me, should I strike now? Er.
A Fate more glorious does that Life attend, And does preserve you for a nobler end. Alcip. Erminia, do not sooth my easy Heart, For thou my Fate, and thou my Fortune art; Whatever other blessings Heaven design, Without my dear Erminia, I'll decline. Yet, Madam, let me hope before I go, In pity that you ought to let me do: 'Tis all you shall allow m'impatient heart. Er.
I knew thou didst dissemble when we parted, And therefore durst not trust thee with thy Passions: I only staid to gather from my Sister What news I might concerning your affairs, Which I with joy came to impart to you, But most unfortunately came too late: Why didst thou yield obedience to that Devil, Which urg'd thee to destroy this Innocent? Alcip.
I am resolv'd I will not to the Camp, A secret inclination does persuade me To visit my Erminia to night. Pis. Comes it from Love or Jealousy? Alcip. The first, good faith, Pisaro; thou'rt so fearful You shall to th'Camp before, And I'll be with you early in the Morning. Pis. Give me your hand, and promise to be calm. Alcip. Pis. I will not trust you though. SCENE III. The Court Gallery.
Alcip. I must confess I had the honour, Sir, To lead on twenty thousand fighting Men, Whom Fortune gave the Glory of the Day to. I only bid them fight, and they obey'd me; But 'twas my Prince that taught them how to do so. King. I do believe Philander wants no courage; But what he did was to preserve his own.
I humbly beg you will forgive him, Sir, I drew him to it against his will; I forc'd him, And gave him language not to be indur'd By any gallant man. King. Whilst you intreat for him, who pleads for you? For you are much the guiltier of the two, And need'st a greater interest to persuade me. Alcip.
Unjust Alcippus, how dost thou reward me? Alcip. Ah, Madam, I have too much shame to live. Had Heaven preserv'd my Innocence intire, That I with confidence might have ador'd you, Though I had been successless; Yet I had liv'd and hop'd, and aim'd to merit you: But since all hopes of that are taken from me, My Life is but too poor a Sacrifice, To make atonement for my Sins to you. Gal.
Alcip. No, then like the damn'd Ghost it follows me. Pis. Let Reason then approach it, and examine it. Alcip. Love is a surly and a lawless Devil, And will not answer Reason. I must encounter it some other way, For I will lay the Fiend. Pis. What would you have, Alcippus? Alcip. I'd have fair play, Pisaro.
You may observe the actions of these Lovers, But be not passionate whate'er you find; That headstrong Devil will undo us all; If you'll be happy, quit its company. Alcip. Pis. Come, clear up, my Lord, and do not hang the head Like Flowers in storms; the Sun will shine again.
Phi. I never did obey with more regret. Alcip. How now, Erminia? How comes it you are up so late? Er. I found my self not much inclin'd to sleep; I hope 'tis no offence. Why do you look so wildly round about you? Alcip. Methinks, Erminia, you are much confus'd. Er. Alas, you cannot blame me; Isillia tells me you were much inrag'd Against a Lover she was entertaining. Alcip.
