SCENE V.

Artaban
alone.
Relentless Gods! you now have found the way,
The only way to unman me: but to doubt
If yet my dear Arbaces lives distracts me;
I cannot overcome this secret tumult,
That from my reason takes the power to govern.
67

If thou, my son, to life art lost,
No more I'll breathe the vital air;
But first, dispatch'd to Pluto's coast,
A monarch shall my message bear.
Beside the sable stream his oar
The infernal pilot must suspend,
Till to the margin of the shore
The mournful father shall descend.

[Exit.
