SCENE IX.

THAMYRIS, PHARNACES.
PHARNACES.
There fled th' indignant spirit:
A sad example of the ills which flow
From fell revenge, and fury unrestrain'd.
Turn from that sight of woe, and let thy heart
[to Thamyris]
With other feelings, with a mother's transport
Expand, and glow with gratitude to heaven
For thy Eumenes' life.

Whilst Pharnaces is speaking, Orontes leads Eumenes down the stage, and presents him to Pharnaces and Thamyris.
