SCENE IV.

Zamti, Idamè, Octar, with Guards.
Octar.
Dare ye, slaves,
Resume the pledge that I commanded from you?
Follow them, soldiers, and the child conceal'd
See they resign. Away, your Emp'ror comes:
Here bring the victim to your master's feet.
Soldiers observe them.

Zamti.
We'll obey your orders:
We will resign the infant.

Idamè.
Never, never.
No, I'll not yield him up, but with my life.

Octar.
Away with that bold woman. Lo, the Emperor!
Let not these captive slaves approach his presence.
