SCÆNA 4.

King
Solus.
Her husband's dead too: Fates let me dye,
I am too happy to remain long thus
Without a ruine great as the height I fell from.
Plangus was my only obstacle, but him I have
Remov'd:
But love commanded,
His presence would have countermanded all attempts,
I need not fear his Magick at this distance.
His looks and actions were one entire enchantment, and
Powerful over a Lady's heart.
I sent for her, but she's not come yet.
Who waits without?

Enter Artesio.
There's a mourning Lady sir
Would speak with the King.

K.
Admit her, and be gone.

Enter to him Andromana in mourning, with a hood over her face, which she throws up when she sees the King.
