SCENE V.

Latinus, Turnus and Prenesto.
Lat.
Doth she continue still unmov'd?

Turn.
Turnus, she saith, must ever be belov'd.

Pren.
Unwise Lavinia!

Turn.
Constant Fair!

Lat.
What doth she talk on? let me know.

Turn.
In Turnus' Praise her Tongue doth daily flow,
And often when to Armidore she speaks
Her Tongue mistakes,
And calls me Turnus.

Lat.
This is the highest Disobedience,
And Death shall punish the Offence.

Pren.
Let your Resentments to soft Pity yield.

Turn.
Remember, Sir, Lavinia is your Child.

Lat.
An impious Justice will I do.
Here, Armidoro.

Turn.
Ye cruel Gods, what now!

Pren.
O Father, cruel! and O King, unjust!

Lat.
Haste to Lavinia, and discharge thy Trust.
Or Turnus let her strait forsake,
Or in this Cup her Passion slake.
If she prove disobedient to my Will,
Do thou the proud Imperial Rebel kill.

[Exit.
