SCENE II.
To them Arminius.Veleda.
Arminius, welcome,
Your presence sooths my soul to peace and joy.
Arminius.
Oh! my Veleda! By your late misfortunes
Endear'd, and now more welcome to my arms!
It joys me much to find you thus engag'd
In parley with your brother: Segimund,
Observe her well; her councils will direct,
And guide your steps: she differs from her father.
Segimund.
She breathes the energy of truth and virtue.
Your camp to me is the true school of honour.
Arminius.
Heroic youth! with an observant eye
I've mark'd your zeal for liberty; your prompt
Undaunted valour, and your love of glory.
The noblest gift a German chief can give,
Shall grace your merit. Go to my pavillion,
And by my orders you will there receive
A warlike horse, with a victorious lance
Deep ting'd with Roman blood.
Segimund.
This gen'rous proof
Of your esteem, shall with the love of fame
Inspire my soul, and kindle all its fires.
40
A grand exploit, a vast, a glorious enterprize
Will soon take place: To you shall be assign'd
A post of honour. Inguiomer has help'd
To plan our measures; he will tell you all.
[Exit Segimund.
