SCENE XVI.
Artabanalone.
At length I am alone, and once again
Can breathe at liberty. To hear myself
Declar'd Arbaces' judge, had nearly lost me.
But let me think no more on perils past,
Myself I've sav'd, now let me save my son.

The shepherd, struck with pale surprise,
Falls senseless to the ground:
But when he finds his fears were vain,
Again he rises, breathes again;
And careful numbers on the plain
His frighted flock dispers'd around.
[Exit.
