SCENE XV.

Alcestes
alone.
Can it be possible? Am I Demetrius,
Heir to Seleucia's crown? And have I been
Even to myself till now so little known?
What changes have I seen? In one short day
Behold me here a monarch and a shepherd,
An exile and a husband. Who, Alcestes,
Can yet ensure thee that malicious fortune
May not once more transform thee to a shepherd?
