SCENE VII.
A Pavilion.Osmyn, with Attendants.
Osm.
At length the Sultan's Arms
Have prov'd triumphant,
And Conquest is the Premium of our Courage.
Bring forth the once renowned Casimir,
Now Osmyn's Captive, and the Sultan's Slave.
[Casimir enters in Chains.
Well, Casimir! you see the Fate of War
Is now decided in our Favour;
These Chains are not to be compar'd
With the Severities I can inflict,
Unless, upon the Terms I shall propose,
You purchase your Redemption.
Casim.
Osmyn! I rather choose to die,
Than on inglorious Terms to purchase Life,
For Death is welcome after this Defeat.
Osm.
Christian! 'tis vain to hope immediate Death,
For I'll consummate my Revenge
By a Protraction of thy Misery:
Were we to live the Series of an Age,
My Vengeance then would be the more compleat.
For I'll consummate my Revenge
By a Protraction of thy Misery:

The Eagle with its Prey,
Through Æther cuts his way,
Retaining fast his trembling Prize;
With a relentless Breast,
He bears him to his Nest,
And makes him there a Sacrifice.
