Where is he? Lead me, lead me to him—
Where is my life, my love?
Near.
Ah! Deidamia,

Deid.
Nearchus,
What mean thy fatal words?
Near.
Alas! my princess,
He leaves you, he forsakes you.
Deid.
Oft before
Thy vain suspicions have alarm'd my fears.
Near.
Would I were still deceiv'd!—Alas! Ulysses
Has now discover'd all; has found Achilles,
And forc'd him hence.
Deid.
And could'st thou thus, Nearchus,
Permit him to depart? O! haste, pursue him—
Ah! wretched Deidamia!—hear me yet—
This stroke indeed was death!—why dost thou tarry?—
Did I not send thee hence?
Near.
I go, my princess,
But all I fear in vain.
[Exit.
