SCENE X.

Enter Lycidas.
Lyc.
Has Aristea
Been told of all?

Mega.
She has—Make haste, O prince!
Assist thy spouse.

[going.
Lyc.
Ye powers! What do I see?
What can this mean!

[to Megacles.
Mega.
Some unforeseen disorder
Has overcome her senses.

[going.
Lyc.
Dost thou leave me?

Mega.
I go—but O! remember Aristea!
[to Lycidas.
What will she say on her returning sense!
Methinks I know it all!— [aside.]
Hear, Lycidas!
O! should she seek, or ask thee where
Thy hapless friend is fled;
Return this answer to the fair:
My hapless friend is dead.
Yet, ah! let not such grief torment
The tender mourner's breast:
Reply but this: that hence he went,
With anguish sore opprest.
What deep abyss of woe is mine,
From her I love to part!
And thus for ever to resign
The treasure of my heart!

[Exit.
