Frank was gloomy and silent; but when she changed into more solemn music his mood was softened, Maggie's simple and hearty admiration, untinged by the slightest shade of envy for Erminia's accomplishments, charmed him. The one appeared to him the perfection of elegant art, the other of graceful nature.
Ah, Sir, the late Petition which I made you Might have inform'd you why these Knees are bow'd; 'Twas but this night I did confess I lov'd him, And you would have allow'd that Passion in me, Had he not been Erminia's: And can you question now what this Address meant? Org. Remember, Sir, Erminia was my Daughter. Gal. And, Sir, remember that I am your Daughter. Org.
'Tis true, Sir, and your bounty does amaze me; Can I receive a blessing of this magnitude With hands, yet have not wash'd away the sin Of your Erminia's murder? think of that, Sir; For though to me it did appear most just, Yet you must hate the Man that has undone you. Gal. I see Erminia still usurps your thoughts. Alcip.
She would enter into Erminia's eagerness, if the object of it varied twenty times a day; but by-and-by, in her own mild, sweet, suggestive way, she would place all these objects in their right and fitting places, as they were worthy of desire. I do not know how it was, but all discords, and disordered fragments, seemed to fall into harmony and order before her presence.
Browne's pride was redoubled; but she made so many preparations, and so much fuss, and gave herself so much trouble, that she was positively ill during Erminia's stay; and Maggie felt that she must henceforward deny herself the pleasure of having her friend for a guest, as her mother could not be persuaded from attempting to provide things in the same abundance and style as that to which Erminia was accustomed at home; whereas, as Nancy shrewdly observed, the young lady did not know if she was eating jelly, or porridge, or whether the plates were common delf or the best China, so long as she was with her dear Miss Maggie.
Erminia's Chamber; prithee let me know, For I have fears that take away my sleep, Fears that will make me mad, stark mad, Pisaro. Pis. You do not well to fear without a cause. Alcip. O Friend, I saw what thou canst ne'er conceive; Last night I saw it when I came from thee: And if thou go'st about t'impose upon me, I'll cast thee from my Soul.
Why do I shake it is Erminia's form And can that Beauty ought that's ill adorn? In every part Erminia does appear, And sure no Devil can inhabit there. Phi. Ha Oh Gods, I charge thee not to vanish yet! I charge thee by those Powers thou dost obey, Not to deprive me of thy blessed sight. Er. Enter Alcander. Phi. I'm not content with that. Stay, stay, my dear Erminia. Alcan. Phi.
With hopes already that are vain as Air, You've kept me from Revenge, but not Despair. I had my self acquitted, as became Erminia's wrong'd Adorer, and my Flame; My Rival I had kill'd, and set her free, Had not my Justice been disarm'd by thee.
King. How did Philander take Erminia's death? Gal. My own surprize and grief was so extream, I know not what effects it had in him; But this account of him, I'm forc'd to give, Since she is dead, I know he cannot live. King. I'll know Philander's fate e'er I proceed; And if he die, Alcippus too shall bleed. SCENE VIII. The Gallery. Enter Falatius and Labree. Fal. Wert thou never valiant, Labree?
I think I cannot. Org. Sir, as you are pious, as you are my King, The Lover and Protector of your People, Revenge Erminia's Murder on Alcippus. Gal.
