SCENE III.
MEROPE. ISMENE.MEROPE.
O, People! People! They, who trust your Faith,
Bids the wild Winds blow constant.
ISMENE.
The People's Voice is call'd, the Voice of Gods.
MEROPE.
What villain Baseness wants some bold Pretence
That drags in Heaven, to grace it? Thefts, Plots, Perjuries,
Avarice, Revenge, the bloody Zeal, of Pride,
