How is it, man? what, speechless? Alcip. No. Pis. I left thee on the Bed, how camest thou here? Alcip. I know not. Pis. Have you slept? Alcip. Yes, ever since you left me; And 'twas a kindness in thee now to wake me; For Sleep had almost flatter'd me to Peace, Which is a vile injustice. Hah, Pisaro, I had such a Dream, Such a fine flattering Dream Pis. How was it, pray? Alcip.
Erminia, now that she has been joined in wedlock with Alcippus, guards herself carefully from the dauphin's passion, but when the general is obliged by his duties to leave for the camp Philander hopes to persuade her to yield to him. Alcippus, however, whose departure is a feint, returns secretly, leaving Pisaro to continue the journey alone.
If I had done't, The Gods who take the part of Innocence, Had been reveng'd Why did not Thunder strike me in the Action? Why, if the Gods be just, and I had done't, Did they not suffer Earth to swallow me, Quick quick into her bosom? Enter Pisaro, and Erminia drest like an Angel with Wings. Pis. Look where he is. Er. Alas, I tremble at the sight of him. Pis.
Madam, I have so lately 'scap'd a scouring, That I wish you would take it for a mark Of my Passion to disobey you; For he is in a damn'd humour. Am. He's out of it by this, I warrant you; But do not tell him that Pisaro lives. Fal. Pis.
Erminia next appears, and the happy accident explained, Erminia is bestowed upon the dauphin, whilst the princess is united to the favourite. There is a slight underplot which deals with the amours of Aminta, sister to Pisaro, and Alcander. She is also courted by the cowardly fop, Falatius.
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.
Orgulius, late General, Father to Erminia, Mr. Norris. Alcander, Friend to the Prince, in love with Aminta, Mr. Young. Pisaro, Friend to the young General Alcippus, Mr. Cademan. Falatius, a fantastick Courtier, Mr. Angel. Labree, his Man. Cleontius, Servant to the Prince, and Brother Mr. Galatea, Daughter to the King, Mrs. Jennings. Erminia, Daughter to Orgulius, espous'd to the Mrs. Betterton.
Enter Galatea, Erminia, Pisaro, Aminta. Gal. And hast thou found him? Ease my misery. Pis. I have, and done as you commanded me. I found him sitting by a Fountain side, Whose Tears had power to swell the little tide, Which from the Marble Statues breasts still flows: As silent and as numberless were those.
I have too much betray'd my Passion for him, I must recal it, if I can I must: I will for should I yield, my power's o'erthrown, And what's a Woman when that glory's gone? SCENE II. The Apartments of Alcippus. Enter Alcippus and Pisaro. Pis. You seem'd then to be pleas'd with what she said. Alcip. And then methought I was so, But yet even then I fear'd she did dissemble.
Falatio, you are a swift Horseman; I believe you have a Mistress at Court, You made such haste this Morning. Fal. By Jove, Pisaro, I was weary enough of the Campaign; and till I had lost sight of it, I clapt on all my Spurs But what ails Alcander? Pis. What, displeas'd? Alcan. It may be so, what then? Pis. Then thou mayst be pleas'd again. Alcan. Why the Devil should I rejoice?
