She answer'd then; Her Case the same appear'd;
Hid from the World, withdrawn, else Danger fear'd.
He urging more, Clermanthe sweet reply'd,
Such Noble worth could not be long Deny'd:
And since Necessity conjoyn'd withal,
His Way approv'd, whate're Event befal.
Orsamnes when to shew his Grateful sence,
Kiss'd strait her Hand for that rare Confidence
In him repos'd; desir'd with chearful Brow
A Kiss for Seal, which she did Grant, allow.

Kiss'd strait her Hand for that rare Confidence
In him repos'd; desir'd with chearful Brow
