SCENE X.

An inner apartment belonging to Cosroes. A table with seats.
Siroes
with a paper.
Still let me from Emira's snares preserve
My father's life.—This paper, thus impress'd
With characters disguis'd, describes the danger,
But keeps unknown the traitor.—If my silence
Conceal the first, I must betray my father;
And if I tell the last, I sacrifice
My cruel, lov'd Emira—Ha! the king
Seems this way bending—Whither shall I turn?
Should he perceive me here he'll sure suspect
From me the warning comes, and force me then
To name the guilty: best awhile retire
And hide me from his sight—O Gods! defend,
Defend Emira, guard my father's life,
And ah! protect my innocence.
