She has undone my Prince, And he has most unluckily disarm'd himself, And put the Sword into his Rival's hand, Who will return it to his grateful Bosom. Phi. Why, you believe Alcippus honest Alcan. Yes, in your sense, Pisaro, But do not like the last demand he made; 'Twas but an ill return upon his Prince, To beg his Mistress, rather challeng'd her. Pis.
Ah, that Alcippus did not you approve, We then might hope these mischiefs to remove; The King my Father might be won by Prayer, And my too powerful Brother's sad despair, To break his word, which kept will us undo: And he will lose his dear Philander too, Who dies and can no remedies receive: But vows that 'tis for you alone he'll live. Er.
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.
It is resolved that Alcippus, who is now torn with agony and remorse, must be fittingly punished, and accordingly as he lies sick at heart in his chamber Erminia enters as a spirit, and so looking over his shoulder into a mirror wherein he is gazing tells him plainly of Galatea's love.
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.
I can forgive, though 'twas not kind To let me languish in a desperate Error; Why was this Blessing hid from me alone? Er. Ah, Sir, so well I knew you lov'd Alcippus, That had you known it e'er the Prince had own'd me, I fear you had restor'd me back again, A Sin too great to load your Soul withal. Org. And when they undeceiv'd me Of my opinion of her being dead Phi. King.
Though by his fondness led he were content To marry thee, the King would ne'er consent. Cease then this fruitless Passion, and incline Your Will and Reason to agree with mine, Alcippus I dispos'd you to before, And now I am inclin'd to it much more.
My Lord Alcippus, are you pleas'd with this? Alcip. Sir, I am so pleas'd, so truly pleas'd with it, That Heaven, without this Blessing on my Prince, Had found but little trouble from my thanks, For all they have shower'd on me; 'Twas all I wisht, next my Pretensions here. King. Then to compleat thy happiness, Take Galatea, since her Passion merits thee, As do thy Virtues her. Er.
In The Forced Marriage she seems to have remembered The Maid's Tragedy. The situation between Alcippus and Erminia, Act ii, III, has some vague resemblance to that of Amintor and Evadne, Act ii, I. Aminta also faintly recalls Dula, whilst the song 'Hang love, for I will never pine' has a far-off echo of 'I could never have the power. But Mrs.
The Curtain must be let down, and soft Musick must play: The Curtain being drawn up, discovers a scene of a Temple: The King sitting on a Throne, bowing down to join the hands Alcippus and Erminia, who kneel on the steps of the Throne; the Officers of the Court and Clergy standing in order by, with Orgulius. This within the Scene.
