SCENE VI.

Timanthes
alone.
What guilt has Dirce known, malignant stars!
That thus you join to heap afflictions on her?
You, who were present at the blameless union,
Ye powers! protect the love yourselves inspir'd.
This stroke has chill'd my heart, and all in vain
I strive to call my wandering spirits home.
I fondly hop'd to reach the shore,
And hear the winds no longer roar;
But find my hapless bark again
Expos'd amid the stormy main.
And while from one my vessel flies,
Another rock my fate supplies:
In vain, alas! the first is past,
When greater perils wait the last!

[Exit.
