SCENE V.

Delbo on the Ground.
Delbo.
For thy Ferry-Boat Charon
I thank thee,
But thrust me not out
Tho' I bring you no News,
For I came in a hurry.

Orm.
Delbo.

Delbo.
My Lord.

Orm.
Asleep;

Delbo.
I shall never wake more,
I am Dead.

Orm.
Thou Dreaming Sot
Where art thou?

Delbo.
In the World below
I seek a new Master:

(Delbo rises.)
Orm.
Rise Slave
No more
And you Dorisbe
Now forgive me,
Charming Fair adieu:
A greater Power
Controuls my Soul;

It boyls, and Reigns
Within my Veins;
Adieu! adieu!
Dorisbe, Charming Fair adieu!
Old Laws must yield to New.
Adieu, adieu!
Old Laws must yield to New
Dorisbe, Charming Fair adieu, &c.

(They go out.)
