What shall I tell the Priestess in excuse
For tarrying here so long?—Oh, how I dread
Ev'n now to look upon the deep!—

And his Sicilian guest, whom I believ'd
Both drown'd!—More evil still survives to plague us

Into the temple to inform Palæstra,
That we may fly to th'altar ere he come,
And seize us?—I'll be gone:—th'occasion presses,
And suddenly inspires the thought.
[Runs into the temple.
