SCENE II.

Enter one Masqu'd, with Bow and Arrows ready to shoot at Arsinoe, and Sings.
Now Tyrant take thy Doom
Thy Time is come,
Dye Tyrant, dye.

(He shoots and misses.
Orm.
Hold Traytor first
Thy Salvage Blood
I'll Sacrifice.

The Masquer lets fall his bow. Ormondo pursues him. Arsinoe wakes, Delbo falls on the Ground.
Arsinoe.
Help me ye Gods
Assist my Flight.

Arsinoe flies off the Stage in a fright.
