SCENE IV.

A Prospect of the Turkish Camp.
Osmyn, Officers, Guards, and Attendants.
Osm.
Be this the Day appointed
To rush with Fury on our Christian Foes.
Now, now, my Mussulmen, exert your Courage;
Those, who in this Engagement fall,
Will be abundantly rewarded
With the eternal Joys of Paradise:
The rest with Spoil and Conquest will return.
Inseparable Blessings thus attend us,
Whether we live or die,
We're sure of Happiness.
I'll destroy the proud Foe in his Glory,
From our Presence he shall fly,
For I'll conquer or die,
To dubious Fear I am a Stranger:

5

Let all be so brave, that the Story
May be noted by Fame,
From the Ganges to Thame,
And equal the Height of our Danger.

[Exeunt.
