SCENE V.
Manent Zimon, and Ammon.Ammon.
Come, joyn with me,
To curse Mankind, and leave the savage Race!
268
They stare upon the Monster! point him out!
And hunt him, like Infection, from the Herd!
Their very Mercy tastes of Cruelty!
In Pride they grant, and spurn the humble Wretch
Who feeds upon their Bounty!
Zimon.
Thankless Man!
[A Trumpet
What may this mean?—a Herald from the State.
Ammon.
Then, lo! I prophesy!—prepare for War!
Arm for the Persian!—after Ammon's Death
Tell it with wonder, that a Prophet once
Spoke Truth in Greece!
