SCENE VII.
Lavinia and Latinus.Lav.
She said that Queens were ready with their Charms
To crown his Love, and fill his Arms.
She said, Camilla still did live,
And cou'd to him the Volscian Kingdom give.
Lat.
To a deep Dungeon let her be confin'd,
Her Hands and Feet let sharpest Irons bind.
Be cruel and be jealous,
If safely you wou'd Rule;
The Active, and the Zealous,
Condemn the easie Fool.
If safely you wou'd Rule;
The Active, and the Zealous,
Condemn the easie Fool.
[Exit.
Lav.
Turnus is false, and I'm undone,
Dorinda has the Conquest won;
Dorinda spoke, and he obey'd,
Turnus is false, and I'm betray'd.
Anger's for War declaring;
Love wou'd some Pity show;
My Soul is not so daring,
But answers No, no, no.
What Hope can now relieve me;
Abandon'd, and despairing;
What Hand from Death reprieve me,
Since Turnus gave the Blow?
Love wou'd some Pity show;
My Soul is not so daring,
But answers No, no, no.
What Hope can now relieve me;
Abandon'd, and despairing;
What Hand from Death reprieve me,
Since Turnus gave the Blow?
[Exit.
