Dido's Expostulation.
They say, that Souls departed, first must runTo Styx, and so unto Elizium.
They tell me wonders, and they likewise show
Th' Immortal Pleasures of the Shades below.

My wandring Soul should pass to Styx this Night.
Fond Heart, ne're fear, undoubtedly 'tis so,
Be resolute, for thou mayst safely go.
Well, I'm resolv'd, and if that Fame doth lie,
Let Fortune do her worst, I can but dye.
And now this Sword shall pass into my veins
And ease my Heart of all my cruel pains;
My vital Spirits faint, I come, I come,
To my sweet rest, even to Elizium.
