SCENE IV.

Casimir
alone.
O for a deadly Instrument, to end
This most accursed Life!

Since what I now endure is past Forbearance.
No more; it is resolv'd, I'll so provoke him,
That he must kill me, if he has yet remaining
One Spark of Manhood or Resentment.
The furious Tiger for a while kept under,
Rouses at last, and bursts his Chains asunder;
Inspir'd with double Rage he flies
Upon his Foes, and self-avenging dies.
