SCENE XVII.

A great square in Seleucia; a view of the royal palace, with magnificent preparations for the coronation of Medarses, which are afterwards used for the coronation of Siroes. At the opening of the scene a skirmish appears between the insurgents and royal guards: the last are defeated and driven off.
Cosroes and Emira with drawn swords: Cosroes defending himself against some of the conspirators; he falls.
Cos.
I am not conquer'd yet.

Em.
Forbear, my friends,
This stroke is mine.
