SCENE II.

The Inside of the Temple.
Lavinia reading by a Taper—She rises.
Lavin.
How still, how peaceful, all around!—O death,
399

If such is thy asylum—so I might
Shake off these thoughts, these inward perturbations,
In thy dark mansion—O, how pleased I would,
This instant, lay me in thine icey arms,
Shut out the glare and bustle of the world,
And sink into my long, long sleep!—

[OMITTED]
