SCENE IV.

Argantes
alone.
Oppress'd with Doubts of War, my anxious Breast
Forgets the Touch of Peace. But far more strong,
11

Love and Armida rack my hurried Soul;
Armida, full of Wisdom, and of Force,
At once my Mistress, and my brave Allie,
Now absent from her Lover's longing Eyes,
In the dark Cyphers of mysterious Fate,
Seeks to read means to save this Land and me.
Come delightful lovely Creature,
Bring me Comfort in thy Eye,
Arm'd with Charms, thy every Feature,
Strait can make my Sorrows fly,
Come delightful, &c.
