SCENE I.
The Scene, Loves Temple, many passing toward it: afterwardsPhilander Solus.
Phi.
Hail happy land, where if th'Oracle prove
But true, Philander agen shall find his Love,
32
And six with light replenished again,
Since in a storm I lost, whilst I detain'd,
A wofull Captive have e'r since remaind;
Until at last releast, I suddenly
Addrest me to th'sacred Oracle, to know
Whether my dear Bellinda liv'd, or no,
And consequently to know, whe'r I
Should either live or dye;
When this answer I receiv'd,
That as on Cyprian Seas I lost her, where
Venus, Loves Queen, floating did first appear,
So I should find her on Cyprian Land again,
Where Venus fix'd perpetually does remain.
