SCENE IX.

The apartments of Phenicius in the palace.
Phenicius
alone.
How are my thoughts confounded! Cleonice
Enjoins me to return to my apartment,
And bids me here await her high command,
When I, impatient, ask'd her of Alcestes,
Her answer was, “Alcestes yet departs not.”
What can this secret be, which thus the queen
385

Against her custom has from me conceal'd?
Alas! I fear that all my former cares
Were spent in vain.
