SCENE V.

HAMET
(alone.)
Is this permitted—Is this suffer'd, gods?
Spurn'd to the earth—Ha! left alone—gone from me—
Gone whither!—Did he not say to—horror! horror!
To make a hell of heaven—My senses shake!
The brain begins to totter on its basis—
This is the gate that leads to Paradise,
[rises.
And Satan is within—Still fast upon us.—
No means of death—The scymetar remov'd—
Death!—I'll not die.—First grant me rich revenge.
Demons of vengeance here possess me quite;
55

Take me infuriate—Take me to yourselves!
Oh! bring the villain once again before me,
Arm my firm hand, and I shall die content.

[Exit.
