Nor did receive so much as one poor Kiss. Ah wretched, wretched Man! Enter the Prince. How, the Prince! How suddenly my Grief submits to Rage. Phi. Alcippus, why dost thou gaze thus on me? What Horror have I in my looks that frights thee? Alcip. Why, Sir, what makes you here? I have no more Wives, no more Erminias; Alas, she is dead Will you not give her leave to rest in peace? Phi.
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 yet is hardly brought to yield; She wants but some encouragement from you, That may assist her weakness to subdue, And 'twas but faintly she deny'd to see you. Phi. However, I will venture, She can but chide, and that will soon be past: A Lover's Anger is not long to last. Am. Isillia I have won to give you entrance. Phi. Gal. But is Alcippus gone? Alcan. Madam, an hour since. Phi.
This will the Gods; thy King yet more Will give thee what those Gods adore; And what they did create for thee, Alcippus, look, for that is she. Enter the Princess, who goes over the Stage as a Spirit, bows a little to Alcippus, and goes off. Alcip. Er.
On th'other side the Prince with dying looks Each motion watch'd of fair Erminia's eyes, Which she return'd as greedily again, And if one glance t' Alcippus she directed, He'd stare as if he meant to cut his throat for't. Well, Friend, thou hast a sure defence of me, My Love is yet below my Amity.
Er. I humbly thank you, Sir, though't be too late, And wish you yet would try to change my Fate; What to Alcippus you did Love believe, Was such a Friendship as might well deceive; 'Twas what kind Sisters do to Brothers pay; Alcippus I can love no other way. Sir, lay the Interest of a Father by, And give me leave this Lover to deny. Org.
Sir, when you weigh my Sorrows with this Action, You'll find no base Design, no Villany there; But being weary of a Life I hated, I strove to put it off, and missing that way, I come to make an offer of it here. King. King. Phi. Alcippus, may I credit what thou'st said, Or do you feign repentance to deceive me? Alcip.
The lady, however, loves the dauphin, whilst the princess Galatea is enamoured of Alcippus. All three are plunged into despair, and the brother and sister knowing each other's passion bemoan their hapless fate. The prince, indeed, threatens to kill Alcippus, upon which Galatea declares she will poniard Erminia.
Alcippus, you inform me true; I am thus deify'd by you; To you I owe this blest abode, For I am happy as a God; I only come to tell thee so, And by that tale to end thy Woe; Know, Mighty Sir, your Joy's begun, From what last night to me was done; In vain you rave, in vain you weep, For what the Gods must ever keep; In vain you mourn, in vain deplore A loss which tears can ne'er restore.
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.
