SCENE IV.

Prusias, Arsinoe, Flaminius, Attalus, Cleone.
Cleo.
Nothing can now the peoples rage withstand
Madam they with loud cryes the Prince demand,
And have to such a height their Furies born
His two accusers are in pieces torn.

Arsi.
Those victims paid unto the peoples hate
We with their Fury may our fears abate,
In those two Wretches blood, their hands being dy'd
They'l think the Prince is amply satisfy'd.

Flam.
Madam if this disorder had no chief,
I should incline to be of your belief.
The peoples rage no further might pretend
But form'd designs have seldom such an end,
They press at what they have contriv'd before
The first bloodshed opens the way to more,
Fleshes, and hardens, does all horror chace
And unto fear or pitty leaves no place.
