I have too much betray'd my Passion for him, I must recal it, if I can I must: I will for should I yield, my power's o'erthrown, And what's a Woman when that glory's gone? SCENE II. The Apartments of Alcippus. Enter Alcippus and Pisaro. Pis. You seem'd then to be pleas'd with what she said. Alcip. And then methought I was so, But yet even then I fear'd she did dissemble.
It is not well to think my Kindness limited; This, from the Prince you hold, the next from me; Be what it will, I here declare it thine. Upon my life, designs upon a Lady; I guess it from thy blushing. Name her, and here thy King engages for her. Phi. O Gods! Alcip. Phi. King. Alcippus, with her Father's leave, she's thine. Org. Sir, 'tis my Aim and Honour. Phi.
I die if those two Rivals have encounter'd. Phi. Ah, Madam, cease that fear, they both are safe From all but from the Wounds which you have given them. Er. Oh Gods, what make you here! and where's Alcippus? Phi. Where I had been had Heaven been bountiful. Er. Alas, Sir, what do you mean? what have you done? And where have you bestow'd him? Phi. Why all this high concern, Erminia?
Orgulius demands Alcippus' life from the King, but Galatea, heart-broken, pleads for the man she loves. Philander is distraught with grief, and the King decides that if he harms himself Alcippus shall straightway pay the forfeit.
Alcippus, is't a time to think of Weddings, When the disorder'd Troops require your Presence? You must to the Camp to morrow. Alcip. You need not urge that Duty to me, Sir. King. A Day or two will finish that affair, And then we'll consummate the happy Day, When all the Court shall celebrate your Joy. Pisa, and Fal. Pis.
What think'st thou of thy Destiny, Is't not agreeable to thee? Tell me, Alcippus, is't not brave? Is it not better than a Grave? Cast off your Tears, abandon Grief, And give what you have seen belief.
Isillia, Erminia's woman, has already admitted Philander to her mistress' chamber, when the lovers are surprised by the arrival of Alcippus on the scene. The prince is concealed, although the meeting had been purely innocent, but he is betrayed owing to the fact of his inadvertently leaving his hat and sword upon a table.
Without on the Stage, Philander with his Sword half drawn, held by Galatea, who looks ever on Alcippus: Erminia still fixing her Eyes on Philander; Pisaro passionately gazing on Galatea: Aminta on Fallatio, and he on her: Alcander, Isillia, Cleontius, in other several postures, with the rest, all remaining without motion, whilst the Musick softly plays; this continues a while till the Curtain falls; and then the Musick plays aloud till the Act begins.
The prince is about to wreak his vengeance on the cruel husband when he is met by Erminia herself, who, owing to her maid's attentions, has recovered from the swoon Alcippus took for death.
I must confess, your Passions give me cause, If I had any Secrets, to conceal them; But 'tis no time nor place to make disputes in: Will you to Horse? Alcip. Will you not think fit I should return then? I can be calm. Pis. What is't you mean by this return, Alcippus? Alcip. To see Erminia, is not that enough To one in love, as I am? Pis. But, Sir, suppose you find Philander there? Alcip.
