Enter Orgulius, Erminia weeping, and Isillia. Er. Sir, does your fatal resolution hold? Org. Away, away, you are a foolish Girl, And look with too much pride upon your Beauty; Which like a gaudy flower that springs too soon, Withers e'er fully blown.
On the wedding night the bride confesses her love for Philander and refuses to admit Alcippus to her love. The dauphin at the same time serenades Erminia at her chamber door, but Pisaro, a friend to Alcippus, meeting him, there is a scuffle during which Alcander, the prince's companion, wounds the intruder. The noise rouses Erminia who issues from her room and encounters Philander.
"There are two horses left in the stable," she said. "Take those." They rode away on the horses. Latin audiences are notoriously unfaithful to their stage favourites.

'Tis only by these signs I can express What my Confusion will not let me utter.

It was my own thought at first. Then in a moment I saw the relief it was to my mother my poor mother!

Keeping us back with a raised arm, he called out, "Erminia, Erminia!" and waited.

Neither of us have seen him. Phi. Go, you are a Woman, a vain peevish Creature. Er. Sir, 'tis but just you should excuse my Fear, Alcippus is my Husband, and his Safety Ought to become my care. Phi.
