SCENE III.

Osrhoes
alone.
First let me from the insulting foe redeem
The precious pledge, that only makes me fear,
Then give my fury way—Yes, haughty Roman!
Tremble at Osrhoes' vengeance. I am conquer'd,
But not depress'd; for know, to thy confusion,
My soul, unchang'd, shall ever war with Adrian.
A sturdy oak, which nature forms
To brave a hundred winters' storms,
While round its head the whirlwinds blow,
Remains with root infix'd below.
When fell'd to earth a ship it sails
Through dashing waves and driving gales;
And now at sea, again defies
The threatening clouds and howling skies.

[Exit.
