SCENE draws and discovers Orpheus slain.
[Several Bacchants rejoycing in a triumphant Manner, bearing the Lyre and Chaplet of Orpheus.
Enter Rhodope.
Rho.
Ha! Horror blast my Eyes! The Deed is done!
The Lilly of the World is dead,
And Joy and Hope to Rhodope are lost!
Then perish, Wretch! For now to live
Is Torment more than Hell can give.
Seize me, ye Furies!—Lo, I come.
Thus my own Hand shall seal my Doom.
[Stabs herself.
The Comic Part continues.
