SCENE XIII.

Manent Prenesto and Camilla.
Cam.
Hope would my fond Heart ensnare.
But Oh!

Pren.
But what?

Cam.
My Soul is all Despair;
Close in my Bosom let it sleep.

23

Pren.
Thy secret Grief unfold.

Cam.
Conceal'd my Thoughts I ought to keep.

Pren.
To me they may be told.

Cam.
'Tis Love.

Pren.
Of whom? Were I the happy Swain!

Cam.
My Tyrant's Son is Author of my Pain.

Pren.
Preposterous Passion! I condemn thy Love
To him, who should thy Indignation move.

Cam.
Love is Almighty, and controls the Heart:
Thy Sire my Tyrant, thou my Idol art.

[Aside.
