Evening: Chestnut-street. Enter Maurice with Clarice.Maurice.
Thou'rt mine, my Clarice.
Clarice.
Wholly thine, my husband.

Now let the furies clamor as they may,
That the capricious fortune which had mock'd
Our blessings with denial, has been baffled
By the true nobleness of that human will,
Which, when the grim necessity looks worst,
Can fearlessly resolve to brave its fate.
Thou'rt mine, and all grows suppliant in my path
That lately looked defiance. We are one!—
This is our dwelling, Clarice:—let us in.
[They enter the house of Maurice.
