SCENE VI.

Daraxa, an Officer.
Officer.
Madam, the Prince,
Rous'd by that deathful Cry, from the cold Earth,
Where in his Tent he lay, to Grief abandon'd,
And told by an Attendant of the Princess,

45

That she this fatal Moment breath'd her last,
Now rushes hither to indulge his Sorrows.

Daraxa.
Unhappy Prince! I venerate his Tears,
And will retire—But whither? Rage, Confusion,
Despair and Desolation frown around me!—
I must find out this Dervise, must discover
If he indeed be Selim—Edward comes.
