SCENE XII.

Enter Rinaldo with Argantes in Chains.
Rin.
Behold! the haughty Pride of Asia's Hope,
Has learnt to bow!

Arg.
Christian, Thou wrong'st my Fame.
'Tis true, Argantes is a Slave to War,
But That Argantes has a Heart that's free,
A Heart, that wou'd not stoop to Heav'n ignobly,
A Heart, the Fates themselves can scarce controul!

Godf.
To thee Rinaldo is this Triumph due.
