SCENE XV.

Manent Turnus and Lavinia
Turn.
Pardon, Lavinia, my too jealous Fears.

Lav.
Unfaithful sure Lavinia still appears.

Turn.
See, I repent.

Lav.
Be gone, and leave the Maid
By whom the Royal Turnus is betray'd.

Turn.
Forbear tormenting thy unhappy Guest,
By his own Guilt too much oppress'd.

Lav.
To thee I swear, and to just Heav'n,
Rather than violate my Faith once giv'n,
I will unmov'd to Death withstand
My angry Father's hard Command;
And when I am dead,
Let this upon my Urn be read,
Here lyes Lavinia,
Who to preserve unmov'd her Faith,
Chearfully resign'd to Death.

Turn.
Ah! never yet was known
A Nymph so kind and true,
So fair and faithful too.
Despair no more pursues me.
My fancy'd Fears are flown,
My Thoughts no Joy refuse me,
My Torments adieu.

A Dance of Shepherds and Shepherdesses.
