SCENE. V.
Eleonora, Daraxa.Daraxa.
Princess, stay.
Resistless Sleep now rushes on his Powers:
For so the various Poison oft begins
To spread its dark Malignity.—
Eleonora.
Ha!—Sleep?—
Then is the Time—Thanks to inspiring Heaven!
But come, and ere the Poison sink too deep,
Swift let me seize the favouring Hour of Sleep.
