 | The Siege of Sinope |  |
SCENE VI.
THAMYRIS.What has my rashness sworn! All-righteous Themis!
O spare a mother's crime!—Let my lov'd lord
Return with conquest crown'd!—Preserve the hero,
Who combats for his country!—In the field
Be present with him;—nerve his patriot arm!
Give the lov'd monarch to his people's wishes,
And show mankind the great reward of virtue.
