SCENE XI.

Enter Lavinia and Turnus.
Lav.
You've both beyond Forgiveness err'd;
Dorinda spoke, and Turnus heard.

Turn.
Firm to my Vows I still abide.

Lav.
Go, let Camilla be your Bride.

Turn.
Banish that Anger from your Eyes,
And cease your Vassal to despise.

Lav.
Haste, and new Realms acquire; but know,
That Royal Nuptials wait us too.

Turn.
Cease, Cruel, Tyrannizing,
Give your Resentments over;

35

Unless, my Vows despising,
You kill your Lover.
Ah! you kill your Lover!
You are my Soul's Ambition;
I have no Wish above ye.
Unjust is your Suspicion;
I constant Love ye.

Lav.
These Pangs of Love I can no longer bear,
My Cruelty was feign'd, my Love sincere.
Turnus!

Turn.
Lavinia!

Lav.
Cease, Cruel, to deceive me,
Give, give your Falshood over;
Lest when unkind you leave me,
You kill your Lover!
Ah! you kill your Lover!
Let me be your Ambition,
And taste no Bliss above me.
Blest will be my Condition
If you can love me.

Both.
Cease, cruel, &c.

[Exeunt.
