SCENE VI.

Hypsipyle, Rhodope, Learchus, Bacchanals, and Amazons.
Lear.
Unpitying princess! in Learchus' fate
Behold the dreadful trophies of thy charms!
Excess of love impell'd me to this ruin.

Hyp.
Learchus, no: thou art thyself alone
The cause of thy misfortunes.

Lear.
At my birth
This day was fix'd in fate's eternal volume.

Hyp.
Unhappy moment when I pleas'd thee first!
That hapless instant when thy eyes
Beheld and thought me fair,
Some baleful star was seen to rise,
And shed a dismal glare.
Less cruel would thy hatred prove,
Than such a dire destructive love.

[Exit.
