SCENE II.

The back Scene opening, discovers the Sultan's pavilion: he sitting; Officers and Slaves around him.
First Officer,
behind the throne.
The fragrant health
Of morning when it shines; the gentle calm
Of evening when its dewy shades descend,
Repose on Solyman; and make his breast
A paradise of sweets. To him, the King
Of Kings, the Lord of west and east, belong
Justice and mercy; to chastise all vice,
And to reward all virtue.

Second Officer
on the left.
Yet this Prince,
This first of Monarchs, mighty, and renown'd,
Shall die! shall die! shall die!


94

Third Officer
on the right.
Praise be to him
Who lives for ever.

Solyman
rising.
Leave me.
