SCENE XII.

Eucharis, Telemachus.
Euch.
Telemachus!—alas!—surprize
Sits on thy Brow.
What means this sudden Horror?

Tel.
O fair Delusion, stay!
Hover a while to bless my Eyes,
E'er thou again deceive me.

Euch.
Thy Words are wild! trembling thy Voice!
Thou dost not know me!

Tel.
'Tis she her self!—'tis Eucharis!
My joyful Heart assures me
'Tis she—vain Fears away.

Euch.
What Fear?—O say!

Tel.
Just now I saw thee here;
I saw thee, or some beauteous Phantom
Smil'd lovely in thy borrow'd Charms;
I gaz'd—but lost thy heav'nly Image—
Which now arose a Tree, but soon
In flashing Fire escap'd my wondring Sight.

Euch.
Wonder no more:
Proteus, that changeful Power, was here,
Who with unwelcome Passion wooes me,
And took these visionary Forms
To drive thee to Despair.

Two VOICES.
Tel.
My Charmer!—

Euch.
My Treasure!

Tel.
To meet thee

Euch.
To greet thee

Tel. and Euch.
Is Joy past expressing,
No more let us part.

Tel. and Euch.
With Transport confessing
I feel a new pleasure
That glides thro' my Heart.

Tel.
My Charmer!—

Euch.
My Treasure!

Tel.
To meet thee

Euch.
To greet thee

Tel. and Euch.
Is Joy past expressing,
No more let us part.
