 | Darius : King of Persia |  |
[Scene]
[The Scene is drawn, and the Carcasses of Bessus and Nabarzanes are seen, hung in Chains, and stuck with Darts, a Guard attending. At another part o' the Stage, is seen the Ghost of Darius brightly habited.Pa.
Oh! now I see the Cause, of these Divine
Miraculous Sounds; I see the King, the King,
More Lively than he ever was in's Life,
More Pompous than in all his Royal Pomp.
Ar.
I see him—and my Spirit, rais'd with joy,
Ascends to meet him—happy Vision.
Vertue triumphing over Villany.
Pa.
The Royal Shadow smiles and points to 'em—
Ar.
This is the difference 'tween the good and bad.
Death shews it truly, Life is a false light,
But the true Diamond, appears by Night.
