SCENE X.

Feraspe alone.
Fer.
Now, Fortune, stand my Friend,
And I have won the Prize:
Ormondo's on the Brink of Death:
This Letter will incense the Queen,
And push him headlong to his Fate.

Assist, ye Powers above!
At last, my shipwrack'd Mind
Some Ease will find:
Boiling Passions rage no more;
Hopes in gentle Gales arising,
Calm the troubled Seas of Love,
And repelling
Storms rebelling,
Smiling, waft me to the Shore.
Boiling Passions, &c.
II.
Fav'ring Stars the Passage clearing,
Love at last has found the Way:
Clouds of Anguish disappearing,
Joy attends this happy Day.
Fav'ring Stars, &c.
