I saw his postures, heard him rave and cry, 'Twas I that kill'd Erminia, yes 'twas I; Then from his almost frantick Head he'd tear Whole handfuls of his well-becoming Hair: Thus would he, till his Rage was almost spent, And then in softer terms he would lament: Then speak as if Erminia still did live, And that Belief made him forget to grieve.

In the long list of subordinate performers occurred two names with which we are familiar, Miss Grace Danver and Miss Clara Vale.
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?
More years may teach you better; the mean while, If you can't mend your Morals, mend your Style. The King of France to reward his favourite Alcippus, at the motion of prince Philander, gladly assents to his being created general in place of old Orgulius, who seeks to resign his office, and further on his royal word pledges the new-made commander, Erminia, Orgulius' daughter, in marriage.
His heroes are all in love, at least those on the right side; his leader, Godfrey, notwithstanding his prudence, narrowly escapes the passion, and is full of a loving consideration; his amazon, Clorinda, inspires the truest passion, and dies taking her lover's hand; his Erminia is all love for an enemy; his enchantress Armida falls from pretended love into real, and forsakes her religion for its sake.
I told Erminia to be here to welcome this little girl." "I'll take her to Minnie; I think she's in the garden. I'll come back to you," nodding to Edward, "directly, and then we will go to the rabbits."

"Now don't 'but' about it," interrupted he.

"Aunt Buxton," whispered Erminia, "do let me give her one of my frocks. This is such an old thing." "No, love. I'll tell you why afterwards," answered Mrs. Buxton.
